LTO4 is rated at 120MB/s, so I'm guessing you factored in some compression
to get that up to 350MB/s. Regardless, using the 350MB/s as a starting
point, I think it works out to 1 tape drive being able to move 11PB/yr
(just using "PB/yr" makes me cringe). I actually came up with 4.5 tape
drive ye
You are on the right track. A couple of things to consider:
- The values you are operating on are integral values, so you get integral
results. In order to get fractional parts, you need to force the math to
floating point mode. This can be done by bringing an otherwise ineffective
floating point
