I'm looking at solutions to store a massive quantity of information consuming the less possible disk space.

The information structure is very simple and the queries will also be very simple. I've looked at solutions like Apache Cassandra and relations databases but couldn't find a comparison where disk usage is mentioned.

Any ideas on this would be great.
