Appendix C — Specifications
a. Assuming a 2.5:1 compression ratio. Compression throughput depends on the type of data.
b. This is a per-drive value. Total sustained transfer rate for the library depends on the number of drives
c. A 1.5 Gb interface speed does not stream an LTO-7 drive at 300 MB/second.
LTO-6 Drive
When connecting to a Fibre Channel network, LTO‐6 Fibre Channel drives
attempt to connect at 8 Gb/second, but auto‐negotiate down to
4 Gb/second, 2 Gb/second, or 1 Gb/second, depending on the requirements
of the port to which the drive is connected.
