a. Compressed values use a nominal 2:1 compression ratio.
Actual compression ratios achieved depend on the
redundancy of data files being recorded.
b. Performance may vary when the tape drive reads data
previously written to the DLT VS80 and DLT1 formatted data
cartridges. Performance depends on the quality of the data
cartridge you are reading, not the DLT-V4 tape drive.
