NOTES:
1) The Hard Write Error Rate will be a function of factors such as operating environment, head cleaning intervals, tape changing inter-
vals etc.
2) The specified Hard Read Error Rates assume independent errors. The hard read error rate is a calculated value. It is measured
through calculations based on the soft read error rate and the raw read error rate which are both measurable.
3) Please note the important SLR60/75/100/140 recommendation described in Section 5.2.1.
