Option |
Description |
Adaptive |
Dynamically modifies the compression ratio according to available bandwidth and CPU. |
No compression |
Data is not compressed. |
Fast |
Compared to Best, this option uses less host CPU, but more bandwidth. Unlike with Adaptive, the compression level is fixed. |
Low |
Keeps bandwidth and CPU usage at a minimum. |
Normal |
A good balance between effective file compression and balanced host CPU utilization. |
Best |
The host CPU will compress data as much as possible before transfer. Compared to Fast, this option uses less bandwidth, but more CPU. Unlike with Adaptive, the compression level is fixed. |
