12MB? I doubt that... a typo? I have a SDT9000 that I don't use anymore but in my experience, the best you can expect with compression is about 1.6 times the capacity of the tape. Thus on the 12GB tapes you are using, you could expect about 19GB on average data. If you are compressing the data before you write it, expect a lot less. And I never had to turn the compression ON... that may be your problem. The DAT drives usually compress by default and you may have foiled that.
