Yes, both numbers apply to uncompressed capacity.
However the difference between 8.0 and 8.5 comes from the "Maximum Capacity Feature".

In my understanding (I've just read about it a little) the feature is resignation of some buffers which allows to fill more data on the cart. As far as I understand it such cart may or may not be copied (when filled up) due to tape length odds. (I can be wrong here).

8.5 TB maximum capacity.  I assume that includes any built in compression.

2013/12/30 R.S. <[email protected]>:
I'm just reading about STK/Sun/Oracle tape drives. The latest T10000D
drive has uncompressed capacity 8TB, but with "Maximum Capacity
Feaure" it's 8,5TB.

I can't imagine what the feature is, physically. And why it's not
always-enabled?

Any clue?
