Sony AIT-2 Internal Drive, Integrator Model
SDX-500C/BM
High capacity, high performance
Sony AIT-2 tape drives deliver up to 130 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 15.6 MB/s
Fast access to data with MIC
The unique Memory-In-Cassette feature of Sony AIT drives, with
64 kb of built-in programmable memory, speeds access to data,
providing fast loading (less than 10 seconds) and quick file
access (27 to 37 seconds).
Backward Compatibility
Sony AIT-2 tape drives are fully read and write 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-1 data cartridges, while
delivering the increased capacity and performance of AIT-2
technology.
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 Active Head Cleaner mechanism
results in an industry leading MTBF rating of 300,000 POH.
Compact form factor
AIT drives offer high capacity in an extremely compact
3.5-inch form factor. With a compact size a fraction of the
size of other high capacity tape drive formats, AIT drives are
easy to integrate into desktop workstations, servers, and
automated tape libraries.
