Is my LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 SAS External Tape drive finished?

[Not_Sure]

I ran the LTO Drive Assessment Test in LTT and Final Test Status is Failed.

Not sure why as Head Life is 96%

Tape Speed results are STOP and I don't understand why.

Here are some screenshots from the tests:

I am new to LTO-5 and this is a used drive I purchased on ebay.

The drive assemsnet testis the best way to verify if a drive is fit for service for not.   Verify that the firmware is not out of date,  and if it is under warranty/contract,  should not be any roblem getting the drive replaced.
