ABSTRACT:
A removable data cartridge is protected from air-transported particles such as dust, excessive moisture, contaminants, and the like by filtering or otherwise conditioning the airflow at initial startup. The recording media in the data cartridge is initially spun at a rate of speed higher than the operating speed for a brief period of time. By spinning the media at the increased speed, any particles in the cartridge will be removed by the filters. After the initial cleaning period, the spin speed of the media is reduced to a normal operating level.
