Re: Surestore Tape 5000
DDS1 supports 60m and 90m tapes ONLY.
DDS2 adds 120m tapes
DDS3 adds 125m tapes
DDS4 adds 150m tapes
Here's a table of drive/tape compatability:

Re: Surestore Tape 5000
The SureStore 5000 is a DDS-1 device with built in hardware data compression. Native capacity is 2GB with 90 meter tapes. I suspect you were buting 90m DDS-1 tapes and not DDS-4.
The length and format differences were quite confusing especially as DDS-1 started with 60m tapes. The HP product number for 90m DDS-1 tapes is C5706A (minimum order 10 tapes). You may also need a cleaning cartridge by now as they only last for 50 cleaning cycles. The cleaning cartridge is C5709A.

Re: Surestore Tape 5000
The tapes ARE incompatible with your drive.
Look at the link that Dave posted......

Re: Surestore Tape 5000
The only tapes which is longer but with an identical format are th 60m & 90m DDS-1.
A DAT drives detects the type of tape by a series of holes on the lower rear edge of the cassette.
