LTO-6 Drive
When connecting to a Fibre Channel network, LTO-6 Fibre Channel drives will
attempt to connect at 8Gb/second, but will auto-negotiate down to
4Gb/second, 2Gb/second, or 1Gb/second, depending on the requirements of the port to
which the drive is connected.

LTO-5 Drive
When connecting to a Fibre Channel network, LTO-5 Fibre Channel drives will
attempt to connect at 8Gb/second, but will auto-negotiate down to
4Gb/second, 2Gb/second, or 1Gb/second, depending on the requirements of the port to
which the drive is connected.
a
Assuming a 2.5:1 compression ratio. Compression throughput depends on the type of data.
b
This is a per-drive value. Total sustained transfer rate for the library depends on the number of drives installed in the
library.
c
A 1 Gb interface speed will not stream an LTO-6 drive at 160 MB/second.
