A totally uneducated guess, from vague memories.
LTO supports WORM
(write once, read MANY times)
So it should be good at least a few hundred passes, or we are in for a
major
language revision.
If not, i'm screwed. (I just ordered one....)

Subject: [Avid-L2] LTO 5 lifespans...
Hi everyone,
does anyone know roughly how many times an LTO 5 tape can be used to
restore
from. I got told that they can only be used 5 or 6 times before they
become
a bit knackred. 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?
Cheers,
Andi
