Mean Time Between
Failures
The mean time between failures (MTBF) for the internal drive is specified
at 250,000 hours minimum. This specification includes all power-on and
operational time but excludes maintenance periods. Operational time is
assumed to be 100% of the power-on time. Operational time is the time
the tape is loaded.
The MTBF for the tabletop drive power supply is 50,000 hours with the
unit operated at full load and 25°C.
Note: The MTBF rating does not represent any particular drive, but is
derived from a large database of test samples. Actual rates may
vary from unit to unit.
Mean Time to Replace The mean time to replace (MTTR) is the average time required by a
qualified service technician to diagnose a defective drive and to install a
