Figure 2.7:  IBM Ultrium 2 Reads, Compression ratio 3:1 Figure 2.8:  IBM Ultrium 2 Reads, Compression ratio Max:1 2.4  Data Transfer Rate Performance Summary The IBM LTO Ultrium 2 tape drive achieves comparable data transfer rate improvements (with large block sizes) with the 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter as compared with the Ultra3 SCSI   performance data in the original paper.  And the 1 Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter achieves the same data transfer rates or lower than the 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter at small block sizes. For large block sizes the 1 Gigabit Fibre Channel is considerably slower than the 2 Gigabit Fibre channel.   Page 8 of 10 p1   p2   p3   p4   p5   p6   p7   p8   p9   p10
