I got a sales flyer in the mail today for an LTO-3 Ultrium drive that
does 1.2TB/tape and 160MB/s.  In our environment, I've seen our drives
stream at near 160MB/s, but I've never seen any of our tapes get the 3x
compression 1.2TB offers.  Scanning through the library, I'd say our
average is around 650GB/tape with a few in the 750GB area.

Is it just my data, and are other groups seeing more than 2x
compression?  Anything close to 3x?
