Why each option
The native, uncompressed storage capacity of an LTO-4 tape cartridge is 800 GB.
200 GB is the native capacity of an LTO-2 tape cartridge, not LTO-4.
400 GB is the native capacity of an LTO-3 tape cartridge, not LTO-4.
LTO-4 (Linear Tape-Open generation 4) tape cartridges are specified to have a native, uncompressed storage capacity of 800 GB. This capacity can be effectively doubled to 1.6 TB with typical 2:1 data compression.
1 TB is not a standard native capacity for any LTO generation, though LTO-5 offers 1.5 TB native capacity.
