I have never seen it go below native capacity. I usually get around 1.5 to 1 compression rate on my data with outliners being close to 1.1 to 1 and 5.5 to 1. However my tapes do not get reused that many times. Most of my 80 tapes are used for archive purposes (never get deleted) and the rest there are over 10 in rotation that lasts months before being recycled.
