Sony D700C/BM

Fast data transfer rates
Sony AIT-3 tape drives offer high data transfer rates of 12.0 MB/s native and 31.2 MB/s with 2.6:1 compression for today's most demainding data storage environments.

Backward Compatibility
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 previous generation AIT tape cartridges.

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 results in an industry leading MTBF rating of 400,000 POH.

Remote Memory-In-Cassette (R-MIC)
A 64 kbit memory chip embedded into the data cartridge provides high speed file location and file access.
