Since the first generation LTO-1 was announced in 2000 with a native capacity of 100 GB,
the LTO roadmap has expanded and now defines through LTO12, which provides 144 TB native capacity.
NOTE: Compressed capacity for generation 5 assumes 2:1 compression. Compressed capacities for generations 6-12 assume 2:5:1 compression (achieved with larger compression history buffer).
