LTO Ultrium was designed to be backwards compatible with 2 previous generations. This was easy until LTO-8. Take an LTO-7 drive for example.

LTO-8 media was not available for a long time due to patent disputes between 2 major LTO manufacturers. So LTO-7 Type M was introduced, allowing LTO-8 drives to write to higher density LTO-7 media. This changed the backward compatibility from LTO-8. LTO-8 can read/write LTO-8 media, read/write LTO-7 Type M media, and read/write LTO-7 media. LTO-9 can read/write LTO-9 and read/write LTO-8

The only Exception is LTO-8 Drive which is not compatible with LTO-6.

Up to LTO-5 the compression ratio was defined as 2:1. It assumed that 100GB data for example could be compressed to 50GB. From LTO-6 onwards the Compression ratio is defined as 2.5:1.

The compression ratio always depends on the data you are writing. A tar file can't be further compressed for example, whereas a file of repetitive data can be compressed beyond 3 or 4 times.

What is LTO-7 type M Media ?

LTO-8 tape drive can Format a previously unused LTO-7 media as LTO-7 type M media. The advantage is that instead of 6TB native capacity, it would yield 9TB compressed capacity. This media however is only writable in LTO-8 tape drive.

What is the meaning of Limited Lifetime Warranty ?

For the lifetime of the Media, its covered by warranty by manufacturer. Typically the useful lifetime of the media will be defined in years and number of read/write mounts. Refer to the vendor website for more details on warranty.

What is the difference between the Native and compressed capacity of LTO tapes?

Data to be written on the tape is compressed before its written. If the data is highly repetitive, it will have a high compression ratio ( a Text file will be compressible, a BMP image is highly compressible). But if the data is already compressed ( say you have tarred or Zipped the data already), it won't be further compressible.

For Data That's non-compressed you will see capacity higher than the native capacity. For data that's already compressed, you will capacity close to the native capacity.

TLDR: Native capacity is what is guaranteed. You might get Compressed capacity or more than the compressed capacity depending on how compressible your data is.

What is the difference between LTO tapes using Metal Particle (MP) and Barium Ferrite (BaFe) ?

All the older Generation LTO tapes use Metal Particle technology. This technology has limitations in how densely you can pack data on a single tape.
Starting LTO-6 almost all the manufacturers shifted to BaFe to achieve higher density. HP continued to offer both MP and BaFe Variants on LTO-6
LTO-7 onwards all the tapes are BaFe. LTO-6 tapes are the only generation available either as BaFe or as MP from HP. Both BaFe and MP have the same specifications and will work seamlessly in the LTO-6 drive.
