- I have a script that calculates the amount of data that will
- fit on a 2Gb exabyte using the following factors.
-
- # Values for 2Gb exabyte
- BLOCKSIZE=126 # Blocking factor
- KB=2048000 # Tape capacity in K-bytes
- KB_TO_FEET=341 # Kbytes to tape feet conversion factor
- LOGICAL_BPI=54000 # Tape "logical" density
-
-
- I was wondering if someone knows the values for the 5Gb exabyte drive.
-
- Thanks for any help.
