greatly reduced with the use of Sony's Super Head Cleaner mechanism.
This device, built into every Sony DDS tape drive, automatically cleans
the read/write heads after every 15 minutes of use. Contamination from
tape cartridges is kept to a minimum, reducing the need for period
cleaning with your DDS cleaning cartridge.

ferrite MIG heads. Reduced error rates means more efficient operation of
your tape backup systems and greater protection for your critical data.
