It is just a different format on the tape. The cartridges are also different. Both are linear tapes meaning that there are multiple tracks of data written down the length of the tape one of the trade names for LTO is ultrium. go to www.techweb.com/encyclopedia for more information. I do not think there is much difference between them the compression mechanism might be different but for a purchasing decision I would do a weighted evaluation of speed,capacity and price.
