SharePoint 2013 - Remote Blob Storage and Deduplication / Shredded Storage Migration
I believe this is only possible at the content DB level not site collections. If you have one site collection per DB then sure.

To modify the shred size, you should modify the FileReadChunkSize and FileWriteChunkSize properties.
$webapp = Get-SPWebApplication http://yourwebappurl/
$webapp.WebService.FileWriteChunkSize = 4194304
$webapp.webservice.Update()

Thanks Doug for your response.
Do you have any input for the deduplication of the BLOB files?
- Dedupe would be a product of the RBS provider and/or file system (e.g. NTFS dedupe).
I'd ask why you'd be using RBS. It is largely irrelevant, now.Hi Trevor,
why do you mean it's irrelavant?
The deduplication feature will save me (if allowed) about 2 TB of space and the RBS feature will help me to stay within the 200GB DB size
We are having SharePoint 2013 on prem with 4TB+ data and mostly office files 2mb+.
Sorry for the late response .. i did not get any mail
Best regards
Stephan
- General usage scenarios support is 4TB. It's all about storage performance. There is no 200GB "limit" (except with RBS, there is a _hard limit_ of 200GB; your un-deduped is the size you need to calculate). Having run many farms with CDBs in excess of 1TB, as long as your storage subsystem isn't made of just a couple 7200 RPM consumer SATA drives, you're likely fine to meet the 4TB IOPS requirements.
