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.
