A system and method for controlling the traveling of a tape is provided. The system and method include passing data in a buffer to a channel input/output unit for writing the data to a tape. Once the data is written to the tape, a determining unit determines whether or not to perform backhitchless writing. If backhitchless writing is to be performed, then a speed determining unit determines a tape speed, where the time of data transfer from a host to the buffer is less than the time of data writing from the buffer to the tape. Thereafter, an operation signal output unit instructs a motor driver to change the speed of the tape to the determined tape speed after a backhitch is performed is a speculative FM.
