However, the actual throughput isa function of many components, such as the host system processor, disk data rate, block size, data compression ratio, SAS bus capabilities, and system or applicationsoftware.2 Cartridge initialization time can vary. See ../../LTO/3580/LTO_Generic_Tape_Drive/cart_initialization.html for more information.3 See Archive mode unthread for more information.Remember:All sustained data rates depend on the capabilities of the interconnect.Drive performance varies with media generation and drive interface (SAS/FC).Half-height drivesEdit onlineTable 1.
