That sounds like hardware compression of already software-compressed
data. Are you sure you are not using both? (Or else, are AITs as
intelligent as LTOs in not recompressing already compressed data?)
Ah, yes, of course. No, hardware compression is not supposed to be on.
But I'm not sure it isn't... In fact, now that to mention it, I suspect
it's on after all. I'll a have a closer look. And I very much doubt that
the drive will auto-detect compressed data.
Thanks.
