full-height LTO drives run faster than half-heights, because they can pack a bigger motor and more cooling in.
And speaking of faster, you need to be able to feed LTO drives fast enough to keep up with the minimum streaming transfer rate, otherwise the speed drops because of constant re-positioning which also destroys the tape and the head (referred to as shoe-shining)
