* The compression rates shown assume an industry standard 2:1
compression ratio. Actual compression ratios achieved depend on
the redundancy of data files being recorded. For non-compressible
(expanding) data, this results in a reduction in capacity and
transfer rate for the data. Fully random data is the worst case for
compressibility.
** The SCSI bus limits burst speeds, not the design of SDLT 600 tape
drive or Super DLTtape II media.
Cable lengths and cable type may limit attainable transfer rate;
