4-cartridge magazine for up to 520
GB storage (with 2.6:1 compression)
The TSL-SA500C/TB autoloader utilizes a compact 4-cartridge magazine with a
unique push mechanism tape transport. The magazine design delivers reliable
automated tape handling while reducing the typical mis-grip issues associated
with other tape transport technologies. And with up to 130 GB of data storage
per AIT-2 data cartridge (with 2.6:1 compression) you can store up to 520 GB in
a single compact device.
High performance tape drive
technology built-in
The TSL-SA500C/TB autoloader is built around Sony's proven AIT-2 tape
technology, the SDX-500C tape drive. The SDX-500C delivers data at sustained
transfer rates up to 12.0 MB/s (with 2:1 compression) while providing reliable
recording with Sony's Active Head Cleaner mechanism.
Fast access to data with MIC
The unique Memory-In-Cassette feature of Sony AIT tape, with 64 kB of built-in
programmable memory, speeds access to data. With an MIC reader built into the
elevator mechanism of the autoloader, search times can be dramatically reduced.
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
