I was wrong about this.  I checked a bit further on the drive, and it
turns out that the SDLT320 drive uses the same media (SDLT1) and just
writes at a higher density to pack 160GB into a tape, so I really should
be estimating for 160GB uncompressed, and 16 MB/s sustained transfer
speed.

This still works out to the same 2h50m time: 163840 MB / 16 MBps.
