The actual capacity varies depending on the application, the type of data, and the tape cartridge. 6 TB is typical and 15 TB is possible when the Data Compression setting is activated. The default setting of Data Compression is controlled by the host system. The user and the application software can control the activation or deactivation of the data compression setting. The drive can typically achieve a 2.5:1 compression ratio.
