My new Magstor LTO9 HH drive has already requested to be cleaned twice. This is after only writing 168 TB of data - 14x 12TB (LTO8) tapes.

As I understand it, every cleaning wears the drive head a bit down, so at this speed I am wondering how long my new - and very very expensive - drive will last?

I thought these drives had at least 60.000 hours of read/write time to be had before replacing the drive head...?
