LTOs (or any streaming medium) aren't used in the same way that

Let's see you do that with your LTO carts!
I suppose we could do the math if we had enough data about the
reliability of each. There's more bytes in the LTO basket,
but a lot more baskets needed if you want to store the same
amount of data on 9-tracks.
