+## Storage Optimization

+
+## Best Practices for pgvector v0.8.0
+
+1. **Choose the right vector type**:
+   - `vector`: Standard float32 vectors (4 bytes per dimension)
+   - `halfvec`: Float16 for 50% storage savings (2 bytes per dimension)
+   - `bit`: Binary vectors for Hamming distance (1 bit per dimension)
+   - `sparsevec`: Sparse vectors for high-dimensional sparse data
+
+2. **Optimize index parameters**:
+   - IVFFlat: `lists = sqrt(number_of_rows)` as starting point
+   - HNSW: `m = 16-64` for build/search tradeoff
+   - Enable iterative scans for better recall with LIMIT
+
+3. **Monitor and maintain**:
+   - Regularly analyze index usage with `pg_stat_user_indexes`
+   - Rebuild IVFFlat indexes when data distribution changes
+   - Use `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` to verify index usage
+
+4. **Storage optimization**:
+   - Use halfvec for acceptable precision loss (typically <1%)
+   - Implement quantization for large-scale deployments
+   - Consider product quantization for extreme compression needs
+
+5. **Query optimization**:
+   - Use iterative scans for queries with LIMIT
+   - Implement adaptive probe adjustment for varying query difficulty
+   - Batch similar queries to leverage cache
+
+Always benchmark with your specific data and query patterns to find optimal settings.
