    Btrfs may have compression on by default so take it with a grain of salt

        Neither do according to their respective docs.

        Personally though I would’ve preferred an updated* test with more realistic hardware and zstd compression enabled cause this tested configuration is pretty rare in the real world.

        * Their last btrfs compression benchmark was on Linux 4.11 in 2017 it seems, on a 120 GB Sata SSD.

      I’ve never seen it be turned on by default. Maybe some distros configure compression for you, but not the basic filesystem itself. The mount options listed in the article don’t indicate any default compression or encryption parameters at the very least.
