I got literature indicating similar ratings for Panasonic but no one
could tell me what the measuring unit for the 50-100 dropouts is.
Based on analog tape such as 3/4" which used to be rated at maybe 5-6
per minute I cannot believe that they would actually make a product
that might average 50-100 dropouts per minute. Number one it would be
crap - moving WAY backward on the technical achievment timeline and I
while I'm no engineer I can't imagine how any kind of error correction
could handle that many dropouts.
