That's the fastest, but LTO has slower straming modes.
My vendor got me a list of the supported streaming modes for LTO3 and
LTO4, and the lowest mode on 4 was actually less than the lowest on 3
(somewhere around 15MB/s or so from memory).
I might be buying some in the future purely for capacity reasons, not
for speed reasons. If so, hopefully I can confirm that.
