- I have been using their DC2120 clones for several months now in Irwin and
- Colorado drives. So far, no problems although Irwin sometimes marks off a
- few 'bad sectors'. I am having problems with 3M tapes in the Colorado.
- After several months they suddenly die. You can't read them or even
- reformat them; however, if I bulk erase them the Irwin will format them
- marking off several bad sectors and they seem to work okay in that machine.
