Quantization can reduce this estimate by a factor of 4 to 32, depending on the quantization method. Quantization can reduce this estimate by a factor of 4 to 32, depending on the quantization method.

On top of the vector data itself, budget for the HNSW index, which typically adds 20% to 30% overhead, along with payload indexes and the write-ahead log. Reserve about 20% headroom for optimizer operations and operating system cache. <aside role="status"> On top of the vector data itself, budget for the HNSW index, which typically adds 20% to 30% overhead, along with payload indexes and the write-ahead log.
