But I did find an article by IBM that stated that LTO4 did 120MB/s while LTO3 did 80MB/s. So I went to my tape vendor's web site and it stated that the 80MB/s for LTO3 was compressed with 40MB/s native so I came to the conclusion that the 120MB/s number was the compressed number...

Is this a SCSI tape drive? You might want to check on the speed it is communicating at (possibly stuck in LVD 80MB/s mode)...
