And I think exactly this thought process would negate the purpose of testing which is to explore the performance in all typical environments. Of course enthusiasts such as yourself want the 'incompressible data' testing first and foremost but the truth is that compressible data is utilized just as incompressible data is and, in fact, many would say more so in the typical user experience. To state on one side that 0 Fill (or testing with highly compressible data) is a worthless benchmark is paramount to stating that testing in 100% incompressible data is just as useless.

Effective testing explores all the variables.
