Why each option
LTO-3 tape drives natively support 400GB of data per tape, meeting the specified requirement.
DDS-4 tape drives have a native capacity of 20 GB, which is significantly less than the required 400 GB.
SDLT 600 tape drives have a native capacity of 300 GB, which is less than the required 400 GB.
DAT72 tape drives have a native capacity of 36 GB, which is significantly less than the required 400 GB.
The LTO-3 (Linear Tape-Open, Generation 3) standard specifies a native capacity of 400 GB per tape cartridge and a compressed capacity of up to 800 GB, making it the correct choice for storing 400GB of data.
