File system information acquisition time: under one minute in typical case.
File body seek time: within three minutes (This will take more time in some cases.)

Media Initialization(Optimization)

New LTO-9 tapes require initialization the first time they are inserted; this is a onetime operation and is not required thereafter.
It is performed automatically when a tape is inserted.
Initialization can be performed on any drive, and the initialized tape can be usedwithout modification on another drive.
The average media initialization time is about 40 minutes. Most initializations takeless than 60 minutes, but can take up to 2 hours. During initialization, the Single
Character Display shows a lower case c and the green LED blinks.
