A good method to find out how fast your tapedrive could work in
your current environment is to write a scratch tape with the
"amtapetype" command like:

  amtapetype -e 800g /dev/nst0

Takes a few hours.

And this also a test to verify if you need to sacrifice more chickens
or goats on the cables, adaptors and connectors, if you run
into early EOT, usually by some tape write error.
