With all due respect, those 120 and 180 aren't 100, and since ATA disks are basically toys I wasn't even thinking of them. >However, DLTs use the same single reel and >hook and loop system as TK50s, so they can fail in the same way. Having had to disassemble a TK50 drive once to extract a tape, I was rather wary of DLT drives when they first came out, but indeed that problem seems to be gone.
