That tape write rate is too slow.  Native speed for an LTO3 drive is
rated at ~80MB/s.

I think it is really an LTO2.
The OP said 400GB, but was probably referring to marketing capacity.

Well that makes sense. Even in that case, though, 30MB/s is still too slow, especially given that he's using hardware compression.
