I've been able to get 1TB on LTO-2, so I could see that happening...

Subject: [Networker] 1.2TB LTO3?

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?
