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.
