Abstract
A tape drive has a motor-driven take-up reel therein with a fan assembly mounted to a bottom flange of the take-up reel for co-rotation with the take-up reel. The take-up reel with the fan assembly is mounted in the tape drive so that the fan assembly draws air into the interior of the tape drive through an opening in a wall of the tape drive housing next to the fan assembly.
