For example, scientific data usually compresses less than general business data. As a practical guide, mainframe (MVS/ESCON) compression rates are typically 4:1, while client server operating systems (UNIX/NT on SCSI or Fibre) usually achieve in the 2:1 to 2.5:1 range. In all instances, slightly lower or significantly higher numbers may be achieved. | | Data Buffer Size | 8 MB | | Data Transfer Rates | | | Head-to-Tape | 10 MB/s (uncompressed) | | Interface (burst rate) | 100 MB/s Fibre (256 KB) | | Maximum Block Size | 256 kb | | Supported Features | Tape Alert
