Josh,

Do you mean reduction from migrating to e-records or reduction from
effectively managing existing e-records?

If you are comparing digital to paper, Lexis Nexis provides a fairly
straightforward answer in "How Many Pages in a Gigabyte?":
https://www.lexisnexis.com/applieddiscovery/lawlibrary/whitePapers/ADI_FS_PagesInAGigabyte.pdf

Assuming 2,000 pages to a banker's box, maybe 36 boxes to a pallet,
you're looking at at least a pallet of records per gigabyte; you could
easily fit an entire warehouse on a department store hard drive.

If you are asking specifically about deduplication, it may sound
obvious, but space savings are proportional to the amount of
duplication, so it's hard to give any sort of general numbers. It will
also depend on the method of deduplication -- for instance, with
post-process deduplication, you will still need working space for files
to be processed, even if once processed they take up very little space.
