As the LTO2 cartridges differ from LTO1, their speeds also differ. However
according to IBM's specs (I have not looked this info for HP or Seagate) -
an LTO2 drive can read/write LTO1 cartridge at 20 MB/s native. This is to
be considered 33% improvement and your 26 MB/s may simply mean you are
getting 1,3:1 compression ratio. With same compression LTO1 drive ought to
give you 1,3 x 15 MB ~= 19,5 MB/s. If you use LTO2 cartridges, you may get
1,3 x 35 (or 30 for HP/Seagate) ~= 45 MB/s.

Subject: write speed for LTO2 drive using LTO1 tape
Hi,
has anyone tried backing up an image to a LTO2 drive using LTO1 tapes, if
yes
what throughput did you get?
we tried LAN free backups using an EMC Clariion CX400 and pathlight SAN
gateway
with 1 G switches,
the max throughput was only 26 MB/sec suggesting that LTO2 drives can only
write
at LTO1 drive max write speed. (specs 30MB/s compressed)
Any confirmation of this would be appreciated.
