Hey folks,

I see that LTO 6 holds 2.5T data per tape, or 6.25T compressed.

I've never used HW compression before so am wondering whether its
performance is variable like SW compression.   i.e. depends on the
file contents just what kind of compression ratio you'll get.

And also how reliable is it?   If it is just as reliable why would
someone choose not to use it (and therefore why is there an option to
not use it)?

thanks,
-Alan
