The use of 1000 ft, 250 Mbyte cartridges with the 150 Mbyte
drive is not supported or recommended. If you must use
1000 ft cartridges with the 150 Mbyte drive, do not use
600 ft cartridges on the same drive. The different
cartridges produce different patterns of wear on the read/
write heads, resulting in increased error rates and reduced
head life. Standardize on one length only (preferably 600 ft)
to get the best performance from your drive.
The tape drive can be damaged by incorrect insertion or
removal of cartridges, so always observe the following
procedures:
