* Paul Bijnens paul.bijnens@ [040708 12:18]: Noticed the speed increase when specifying '-e 100g' ! Yes! And notice that even with hardware compression on, these drives can put 100 Gbyte on tape, thanks to the intelligent hwcompr algorithm that somehow avoids compressing random data. I think

Actually Gene, for this drive disabling hardware compression isn't necessary. It's an LTO/Ultrium drive, and those are actually smart enough to not compress already compressed data. Notice (below) how he still gets the full 100GB native capacity? With those drives, you get the best of both
