Seems to be a LTO 7 with a native capacity of 6TB.
The max advertised capacity is with compression 2.5:1

I check the compression option but same. it will display 5.2 and save 15tb ?
thanks.
thanks.
Depending on the type of data you will get different compression ratio.
Check after the backup to see how much data has been stored and the compression ratio.

It's down to the compression that it can achieve with the file types on your network.

There is your answer, it won't save 15TB, it'll support 15TB depending on compression.

how I can know that ? and how I can control the compression ?
