ABSTRACT:
Described herein are media drives for writing information to a media (e.g., a tape media), systems for storing information on a storage medium, and methods of writing information to a media. The devices, systems and methods described herein are error tolerant in that they may permit only a limited number (or arrangement) of bad blocks in an envelope to be written before they erase at least a portion of the envelope that has already been written, and move to a different region of the storage media and re-write the envelope.
