There are 2,176 data tracks in Ultrium 6 versus 1,280 data tracks in Ultrium 5.
This new capacity is achieved in the same tape length (846 m) as the gen5 media due to a higher density format (gen6 format).Note that another IBM announcement disagrees: "This is achieved by increasing the linear density, track density, and the media length." (IBM TS1060 LTO-6 tape drive announcement, p. 3.) Note: the difference on the length from LTO5 and LTO6 media is only 1 m.
