2.5.3 Cartridge Life Expectancy
Table 2-3 shows the number of load and unload cycles you can expect before the
tape cartridges need to be replaced.
2.5.4 Data Integrity
SDLT data transfer errors are extremely rare; data integrity for the overall tape
system is shown in Table 2-4.

Tape Cartridge
Cartridge load/unload cycles† 10,000 100,000
Tape insertions
‡ 5,000 5,000
† Load and unload cycles are rated at 5,000 for the cartridge itself.
‡ An insertion is when a tape is inserted into the receiver, loaded to BOT,
calibrated, and then unloaded.
