DW027A Needs constant cleaning
I have a DAT72 drive model DW027A.
Some weeks ago it started indicating it needed to be cleaned. This went on for several days, while I changed the tapes.
I began to think the tapes we have been using were old and causing the drive to become dirty.
So I got a new set of tapes and started to use them.
All was well for about a week or so. And now the clean light comes on again, even with the new tapes.
I saw in another post about a differant model, that if this starts to happen then the drive is pretty much in it's death throws.
I have also having space issues on the tapes. Not sure if this is related or not.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you for you time.
Greg

Re: DW027A Needs constant cleaning
However I would run a Drive Assessment Test in LTT and check if it passes.
