Such comparisons would be of dubious value because its sensitive to the
type of data you have to back up, network bandwidth, and the bandwidth of
your tape drive's data ports. In my situation, lots datasets, email and
text-based web pages, compression with hardware is amazing. We often get
50% - $100 more compression than the rated compression of our AIT2 drives.
