Volker,
 
True compression ratio is data-dependent. The more redundant information is 
found in files, the higher the ratio is For your data it is only '1,4'.
 
The marketing will always use the general assumptions (2:1 or 3:1) as laws of 
nature and forget that this isn't true.
 
best regards,
Kurt

Thanks for the answers!
I already assumed that drive compression was on... But I find it a bit
disappointing that the compression ratio is that poor (only 1,4:1). When
you look at the data sheets for 3592 drives they always talk about 3:1
data compression.
