I did not write the code if I did then there would likely have been a verify phase. Some people kind of expect when you tell the drive to write the data its just written and if it were not there would be an error. Kind of like disk drives most times.
The 9 track tape drives I used to work on had a read after write head, so errors could be detected during write.
