Sorry!
The correct specifications for these tape drives are 210GB/h (60MB/s) in
compress mode.

  I have 3 HP StorageWorks ULTRIUM 460 (LTO2) tape drives connected in a V880
Sun Fire server running Solaris 8.
  Each tape drive has a SG-XPCI2SCSI-LM320 controller card.
  The problem is that the performance is very bad!!
  The tape drives are writing at 37GB/h (10MB/s) in compress mode.
  The specifications for these tape drives are 210MB/s (60MB/s) in compress
mode.
  I have used the ufsdump:

  ufsdump 0f /dev/rmt/1cn <filesystem>

  Has somebody some experience about it, please?
  Thank you.

  EDSON
