A lot of factors affect the speed. The processor of the PC the software
is running on and to which the LTO drive is attached, the speed of the
disks / network the files are coming from and the size and number of the
files being archived.
In theory, with LTO 6, tape can do 160MB/s and store 2.5 TB but you
aren't likely to see that sort of speed in a real world scenario.
To be honest the way in which the software accesses the files when you
are restoring a whole lot of them from the "shelf" is where the speed
comes from. In addition the fact that the archive GUI is in effect
Windows Explorer makes it very human readable and user friendly.
As a point of information the 1500 can do both .tar and LTFS but only
fashion victims use LTFS ;-)

Holy crap 148 megs a second to tape! Tape has come a long way since I
used compact IV tape with arcserve software. Thanks for the link, I
wasn't even thinking tape but this was an eye opener.
