See
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22conner+CTT8000-S%22+compression&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&selm=Pine.LNX.3.96.980609195953.1366E-100000%40rwc1&rnum=4

(Sorry for the long link)

This drive doesn't seem to support hardware compression. You have to use 
a software solution, e.g. gzip or bzip2 (in connection with tar).
