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

That's almost certainly the reason.

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.
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.

I just want to save files on it.
how I can confirm that it' will be save 15tb ?

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 ?
