The fourth and current generation of LTO Tape (LTO-3) began shipping in 2007, again doubling the native storage capacity to 800GB, and providing a 50% performance increase to 120MB/s. Like its previous generation counterpart, LTO-3 is also available in a WORM format for regulatory compliance. LTO-3 also added a feature to allow LTO-3 drives to encrypt data before it is written to tape. All LTO-3 drives must be aware of encrypted tapes, but are not required to actually support the encryption process.
