Data Stream FAQ

How much storage does Data Stream require?

The daily Data Stream package ranges from 5 GB to 15 GB of uncompressed data.

For data delivered to a warehouse, you can configure data retention based on your storage requirements. For example, you can purge data older than six months to reduce storage usage.
