There is no difference it’s what you can do depending on the status and the option you have.

This one might be a better link actually:

Hi Frederico,

For media to be appendable, it has to be manually set by the user and is done on media that is marked as full or bad

Or by a setting such as Use Appendable media within n day(s) of its last write time

Assigned media is just when the tape is assigned to the library

Sebastien
