I'm running LTO2 drives with a mix of LTO2 and LTO1 media -- we kept the LTO1 tapes for off-siting because we have LTO1 drives in our hot-site contract and because reclaim processing based on %full tends to suck as the capacity increases.
So far (6 months experience) it looks like you will get at least LTO1 performance; reclaims and copies may even work a bit faster because of the higher drive transfer rate, if your system can deliver data at that rate.

We're looking at replacing our current LTO1 tape drives with LTO2 drives, and I was wondering what the performance is like using LTO1 media on an LTO2 drive? Will I see the same performance benefit, just without the increased capacity, or is the performance benefit less with an LTO1 cartridge? We have an abundance of LTO1 media, so we won't be changing media types any time soon. Any info is appreciated!
