IBM System/370 Manual page 156

If a 2321 is replaced by a 3330, six full track blocks of data
from the 2321 (2000 bytes/2321 track) can be placed on each 3330 track
if full track blocking is used, for a total of 92,112,000 bytes per
3336 pack (12,000 bytes x 7676 tracks per 3336). Thus, slightly over
four 3336 packs provide the capacity equivalent of ten data cells,
or a full 2321 drive, if full tracks are used. A full ten data cells,
blocked full track, also can be contained in slightly more than four
3336 packs if half-track blocking is used on the 3336.

self-formatting records are written on 3336 packs in the same manner
as they are on 2316 packs. However, each physical area written (count,
key, and data) has a field of error correction code appended to it
for the purpose of data validity checking by the control unit instead
of the cyclic check area used on the 2314.
