Well it's 30GB down to 4.5GB. The ratio is more important and is a (30GB/4.5=) 6.67 times compression but that's 30-4.5GB= 25.5GB (in this case)

So, is that entire amount considered to be 'some' or is that a lot?!

I don't consider it 'a lot' frankly. MP3's compress at roughly 11:1 and our compression of medical images is 20:1. 7:1 is kids stuff.

So is it some or is it somewhere between some and a lot? I'm just trying to get my brain wrapped around all these technical terms...
