The wiki page is a bit confusing with regards to durability. So for example we archive a clients media to an LTO 5 tape and store it, then they want to look at something, then we need the media for a compilation show etc. how many times can we keep loading this media back and forth like that? We are looking into LTO 5 for archiving and for most cases we'll be doing just that, archiving, but we do have some clients who come back year after year wanting to look at old media. I hadn't heard of this being a problem before but maybe someone here can enlighten me?
