LTO-6 has an 2.5:1 compression ratio due to changes in the ‘History Buffer’

• LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4 and LTO-5 featured a 1KB History Buffer

Giving a typical compression ratio of 2:1• LTO-6 will use a 16KB History Buffer

Giving a typical compression ratio of 2.5:1

What this means?• As all data received by the drive goes into the history

buffer• LTO-1 through LTO-5 can only contain the most recent

1024 bytes and this limits the opportunities for a compression data “match”

• Whereas LTO-6 offers a 16x improvement in the opportunity to find a data “match”

Note that the actual compression rate achieved will be vary according to the incidence of duplicate data

HP StoreEver LTO-6: enhanced compression ratio

A new compression ratio:

2.5:1

Reducing power requirements

HP StoreEver pushes down power requirementsNew power shutdown feature with HP LTO-6

HP LTO-6 Hibernate Mode

• Drive shuts down to a low power mode if a cartridge is not present 

• Even the cooling fan is shut down

• Significantly reduces idle power usage 

Not only does this save power and reduce fan noise, but it can also lengthen the life of the drive.
