Peter could you clarify #6?  I don't know of anything that runs at 16 GigaBytes 
per second.

6. performance -  HW compression on the drive demands higher data rate from the 
server to the drive - eg for SDLT320 the tape is spooling internally at 
16GB/sec. If you have no compression, or the data doesn't compress, you will be 
sending data at 16GB/sec over the SCSI or FC connection, you therefore have to 
have your clients capable of supplying data at that rate.
