Key Features |
|
High capacity, high performance | Sony AIT-3 tape drives deliver up to 260 GB capacity (with 2.6:1 compression) in a compact, 8mm data cartridge. Helical scan technology increases data recording density, while offering fast data transfer rates of up to 31.2 MB/s (2.6:1 compression). |
Fast access to data with MIC | The unique Memory-In-Cassette feature of Sony AIT drives, with 64 kbits of built-in memory, speeds access to data, providing fast loading (less than 10 seconds) and quick file access (27 to 37 seconds). |
High reliability | Sony AIT tape drives incorporate a redesigned head geometry, reducing head/tape pressure and delivering up to 50,000 hours of head life. The built-in Super Head Cleaner™ mechanism is activated automatically by the drive mechanism when tape errors approach a certain threshold, resulting in an industry leading MTBF rating of 400,000 POH (100% duty cycle).3 |
Backward Compatibility | Sony AIT-3 tape drives are fully read and write backward compatible with both AIT-2 media, 36 GB and 50 GB data cartridges, and AIT-1 media, 25 GB and 35 GB data cartridges. Backward compatibility helps protect your investment in the valuable data you already have stored on AIT-2 and AIT-1 data cartridges, while delivering the increased capacity and performance of AIT-3 technology. |
