Welcome in the tape vendor lying game. 

See the actual accurate data:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open

And look at the Native Data Capacity.

e.g. LTO1 is 100 Gb period. That those vendors claim you get a 2:1 compression
ratio is nice but you most of the time don't get that unless you start
compressing text which may compress up to 10 times and you can put 1 Tb on
the cartridge.
