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.
