The image below shows how two tapes are displayed in Explorer. The first is identified by its barcode and

About Block Size
Data is written to LTO in blocks. Block size refers to the size of these blocks.
When a tape is formatted using XenData6 Workstation, the block size is defined by the selected Volume
Set. We recommend using the default block size as this provides high transfer rates for both archiving and
restoring while maximizing the usable capacity.
