We have a 3575 L12 with 120 slots.
We are satisfied with the performance but not the capacity.

We average 8.9G per tape or 1.8:1 compression.
IBM tells us that that is low and 'others' average close to 15G.

Our copy pools on DLT average 1.9:1 compression as advertised, so our
data is not unusual.

What is your average capacity?
