Depends on your data.   File systems usually have a large volume of
already compressed files, or files that don't compress much (jpgs, mpg,
mp3, etc).  In our windows environments, we get about 300-400 on LTO-2

and 700-900 GB on LTO-3 tapes.

You get 900GB on LTO-3? Isn't LTO-3 400G native, 800G compressed?

Compression is variable.
