"THIS DRIVE CONTAINED SO MUCH DIRT"
I just pulled a DLT drive off the bottom shelf in a room which meets this description.
The room itself was fairly clean. People forget that drives are in cases with fans and that tends to suck every bit of airborne dust available into the case.
Rather fine dust, finer than talc, over a 15 year period....
