Maximum number of overwrites The usage of a medium is defined
as the number of overwrites from the beginning of the
medium. Once the medium has more than the
threshold number of overwrites, it is marked as poor.
The default threshold is 250 overwrites, except for DDS
tapes, for which it is 100 overwrites.

“Changing How Media Condition Is Calculated” on page 134.
