5.7 TB Seems to be pretty normal to me. As the name of the storage pool implies video content, I think you won`t get much more compression with LTO enabled hardware compression on video files with a decent codec. In our environment we observed a LTO7 Capacity of 9.64T in average per volume (median

Why it is LTO2 capacity reads differently than 3590's. My 3590's report 40GB when filling and at least 40GB when full. K tapes read 20/40 and LTO2's 200/400. So why wouldn't it show at least 400? Is this a TSM, LTO or some other issue causing this? Is a tape reporting 215GB when full really

It also makes no sense if estimated capacity is 400GB, and the drive is capable of supporting that, it only reports 200. Sure it does... The native capacity of LTO2 is 200 GB (plus or minus a tad, depending upon the actual length of the individual tape). Think of a tape as containing 200
