The drive does stop, and it runs at different speeds depending on how fast you are feeding it data. However, this process wastes tape capacity as you switch speeds.
- AstralStorm 7y agoThus you should pick one speed that's fast enough and stick to it.
- jolmg 7y agoI don't understand how stopping or switching speeds wastes tape capacity. Are you not talking about storage capacity but some other type of capacity?
