* Media Recognition System (MRS) is a method where pre-defined stripes are placed at the beginning of the
media to identify the media. The MRS stripes are read to determine if the media is of data-grade. Data-grade
media should be used in SCSI streaming devices since it is of the required quality and consistency to be used
to store data (i.e., audio/video grade media should not be used).
