Don't the DDS-4 drives (and other quality drives) automatically read and compare when writing. There are separate read and write heads which allows write errors to be detected immediately. The cheap Travan drives do not check when writing. There's only one head. I've assumed that a verification pass was only essential with single head drives. -- Lloyd Kvam Venix Corp DLSLUG/GNHLUG library http://www.librarything.com/catalog/dlslug http://www.librarything.com/profile/dlslug http://www.librarything.com/rsshtml/recent/dlslug _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
