Data Deduplication for HDDs is possible
I've run it manually on some volumes, like my ISO repo (actual ISO 's, not pretend ones). It saved a crap load of space. I don't think there's much need otherwise, but if it helps you, I don't see why not use it. They probably don't enable it because they don't include enough RAM usually, and probably don't want to tax the CPU for the average user. More on reddit.com

January 22, 2019 -
I am thinking of purchasing a cheap NAS drive which supports RAID1 and if possible some kind of deduplication. Does anyone have any opinions regarding this subject?
I am currently using an old desktop PC which I installed linux on one drive and managed to configure software RAID on a couple of 2TB disks. It works fine but all other components apart from the 2TB disks are around 10 years of age. Also a NAS would be smaller, consume less electricity and have a decent management interface.

If you ignore the dedupe requirement then pretty much any Netgear, Synology, Qnap, Drobo, etc. will work for you. Low power, features most people want, decent throughput, and if you pony up a little more you can get one with a CPU good enough to transcode video. Ignoring the technical requirements to deduplication, what is your use case? Mail servers--yes lots of the same dang message forwarded around so plenty of opportunity for space savings. Same with sharepoint sites, things with lots of text, and if you plan on leveraging snapshots (iSCSI most likely in home usage) for actually doing something like VM cloning. Otherwise you're going to barely make a dent in compressed videos, if anything at all, which is the biggest space hog for most people. And you'll pay for it dramatically in terms of either power, raw $$, or time investment to maintain a roll-your-own system.

The most important consideration is not backup performance, but restore performance. Because ExaGrid is the only dedupe device to use a landing zone, it can recover from this 'normal disk' area without having to rehydrate deduped VMs.

What is Data Deduplication? | Barracuda Networks
January 28, 2026 - With deduplication, just one copy of these individual virtual machines can be stored. Everytime the engine discovers a piece of data that is stored somewhere else in the storage environment, the storage system saves a small pointer in the data copy’s place, thereby freeing up the blocks that would normally be occupied. As you might expect, different vendors handle deduplication in different ways.

r/synology on Reddit: Data Deduplication for HDDs is possible
December 21, 2023 -
I've found it is very easy to enable data deduplication for Btrfs volumes on HDDs in DSM 7.2.1 and my tests confirm it works.
So I'm wondering why Synology has not enabled data deduplication for HDDs - not even for their own HDDs. Is there some technical reason that I'm not aware of?

Works for any brand SATA SSD, SAS SSD and M.2 SSD drives in DSM 7.01 and later.
-
Now works for HDDs in DSM 7.2.1 and later.
-
Now works for M.2 drives in a PCIe adapter card (E10M20-T1, M2D20, M2D18 or M2D17) in DSM 7.2.1 and later.

Curious, does that mean if i have a large volume with possibly data that is about the same, or even the same file itself just didn't know i had a duplicate, this method will help save space?

Pure Storage has all-inclusive licensing. Every feature is included with the price. At this point, I can't imagine anyone charging for compression or deduplication.

AFAIK all of those vendors include Data Reuction as standard in the price, with one exception... Pure FlashBlade, if purchased via their Everygreen//One model, does NOT include ANY data reduction in the price. You pay based on the written capacity. So if you write 1TB of data, you pay for 1TB of data, even if it only needs 100GB of actual storage to store it after compression. Also keep in mind that not all products support the same types of data reduction. eg, Pure FB doesn't support Dedup at all. (And just for full disclosure, I work for VAST, and formerly worked for Pure)
