Dear List, We have X4-2 Half Rack with 20TB flash cache with database size 8TB.  I am very reluctant to enable flashcache compression as the size of the database is half of flashcache, but Oracle says enabling flashcache compression is a best practice.  Every code execution need time, even though FC is implemented in hardware level compression, still I believe, there will be a penalty.  In this scenario, enabling flashcache compression is a wise idea?   Any one got  falshcache I/O performance test results with compression and with out?  Note: License is not an issue as we have Advanced Compression license. Thanks in advance, Thomas Saviour
