storage efficiency
The ratio of a storage system's effective capacity to its raw capacity.
An estimated efficiency calculation is permissible using estimated effective capacity.
The storage efficiency of a system is normally low when it is new. On a capacity optimizing system efficiency generally increases as the system is loaded with data. There is no way to precisely predict the storage efficiency of a loaded capacity optimizing system before data is loaded onto it.

storage system power efficiency
The power efficiency of a storage system, where input power is measured at the wall socket and output power is measured at the power inputs to the disks, fans, robotics and electronics.
Measurement points of interest include the idle and maximum activity states.
