No, the Data transfer rate for 9940B uncompressed is 30 MB/s or ~105 GB/hr.  
The Data transfer rate compressed is 70 MB/s or ~ 246 GB/hr.

See http://www.storagetek.com/products/product_page38.html#specifications if 
you have any questions on this.

The reason I mentioned that the data was not compressed was because with drive 
compression we hope to achieve even better than 30 MB/s.

I was wondering if anyone might share what speeds they are seeing in MB/s or 
GB/hr for large file backups directly to tape and tape to tape transfers of 
large files? We are hoping to see 85 - 90 GB/hr or better when backing up 
uncompressed large 100GB database files..
===============

IIRC, the theoretical maximum throughput of a 9940B drive is 15MB/sec 
uncompressed, which is 54GB/hr. I wouldn't hold my breath...
