To make a rough estimate I would say that this happens once or sometimes twice a month and all drives are effected in the same way. I have no idea if this is the normal wear due to lots of mounts. We always check out the tape which caused the problem and in most cases we have a technician change parts of the drive or even the whole drive. The age of our tapes is different. We exchanged a lot of them to new ones, but also still have tapes which are 3, maybe 4 years old.
