** Media Recognition System (MRS) is a method where pre-defined stripes are placed at the beginning of the media
to identify the media. The MRS stripes are read to determine if the media is of data-grade. Data-grade media should
be used in SCSI streaming devices since it is of the required quality and consistency to be used to store data (i.e.,
audio/video grade media should not be used).
