If the compression is done by the application (backup software or whatever) then I think you should be fine. My problem hit when using the NTFS (file system) compression flag which has the work done down at a lower level. I've never had it cause any issues before (usually barely notice it's set), but for some reason it seemed to cause these SSHD drives to get swamped and dragged the transfer rate down to 0..3 MB/s (yes, sometimes it hit zero). Probably getting into too much detail here, but what was really strange was that if I kept the source rate down to 50MB/s the drive could keep up, but when I let the input rate climb to 100MB/s the drive fell to its knees and cried for mercy. Remove the NTFS compression flag and the drive happily kept up with speeds at better than 110MB/s.

My old abacus always confused me, I was sure someone was shaking the beads when I wasn't looking.
