Slow LTO-9 tape speed.

Hello all! I read that in version 3.4 they added multithreading for writing to tape. I've already upgraded to version 4.0.15, but the tape write speed is usually around 50-70 megabytes per second. This is very slow; my backups take over a day to write. Is there a setting to enable this multi-threading? Thank you!
 
I'll answer this myself. In the Backup Job properties, with the Advanced checkbox checked, there's a field where you can enter the number of threads. Maybe someone will search like me. I set it to 8, as soon as I see the real speed I will add it to the post.

P.S.
As a result, the speed increased by about 3 times, but then it probably gets limited by the slow SATA disk array. Is it possible to increase the number of threads to more than 8?
