Under the Tape drive utilization entry, after the paragraph that is,

add an additional paragraph that states

"It should also be noted that some tape drives do not operate
optimally with a lower than fully rated speed. If data is
delivered too slowly to the tape, it has to stop, rewind a little, and
then begin to record again. This leads to reduced performance and
excessive wear to media and drives. Some drives can be configured not
to stop when the data stream is not constant. In this case, they write
empty blocks to the tape which reduces tape capacity. The QIC and DLT
tape drives types are affected by this behavior."
