Quantum LTO-3 tape drives can transfer the data at 13 different transfer speeds. These speed variations help the drive to adopt any of the 13 tape speeds after matching it with that of the host's transfer speed. This exclusive mechanism of Quantum LTO-3 drive is the core technology that prevents back hitching. Back hitching is a major problem that reduces the efficiency of many tape drives.
