Why is flac "faster"? Seems like smaller files would be faster than
larger files, even if you have more space.
Why do you want the largest file size? WAV will be larger than
FLAC. Why is WAV faster than FLAC? Why do you assume that larger
FLAC file sizes will be faster than smaller FLAC file sizes?
Is it your goal to fill 18 TB as fast as possible? WAV will fill it
quicker than FLAC with any "string"

My goals, simple... I have 18 TB of Disk Space,
that I'm going to use for audio.
Hence, want to rip once, and store it.
it was between .wav and .flac. ( flac is faster )
So, file SIZE does not bother me at all.
I want the largest file size string...
flac --best
flac -1
flac -8
heard there are others not listed

Rick,
Mark asked "why" you want the least amount of compression. I think
we still do not understand your goals. If you can give us a hint at
what you're trying to accomplish in your search for the least amount
of compression, that might help us find the right answer.

I do understand about lossless format, hence I installed flac,
second, understanding the setting under the man pages is the key.
so, I pose a question, which is:
What setting uses the least amount of compression.
flac --best
or
flac -1

Not using it at all.
But why would you want that? What's the goal here?
