100 – 80 The media health is Good.
Data cartridge: The media is in good condition and operating properly. The
cartridge can be used for writing new data and reading previously written
data.
Cleaning cartridge: More than 10 cleaning cycles remain on the cartridge.
79 – 50 The media health is Average.
Data cartridge: When the Health graph on the Details screen for the cartridge
falls below a health score of 80, the media health icon changes from green to
yellow (generally due to normal aging). For maximum reliability, only use the
cartridge for restores.
Cleaning cartridge: The cleaning cartridge is near expiration. From one to ten
cleaning cycles remain.
