1. A method comprising:
receiving a data stream at an input data transmission rate which is greater than a data storage rate of a target storage device;
compressing the data stream, with a plurality of encoders provided in a parallel configuration, at a compression rate that increases the effective data storage rate of the data storage device; and
storing the compressed data stream in the target storage device.
