If you clean your drive regularly, if you double-check on another DAT
drive that you can re-read your data, you can reuse DAT cartridges until
they die.

60m medium is *very* resistant. My worst experiences was with DDS-2
120m tapes on a SDT-7000. SDT-5000 and SDT-9000 (and SDT-10000
as far as I can tell after one week-end of testing, wrote/verified around
250 GB) seem much more reliable.
