In less than 10 lines: "identical drives" does not mean that the bad spots are in the same location on each drive. That is, for spindle sync applications, you will probably want to map out the bad spot of one drive on both drives and present "logically perfect" media above the spindle-sync driver, or spindle-sync won't do you much good. The same arguments apply to zone expansion relocating track-to-track seek locations on ZBR drives.
