Introduction
AIT-1
Turbo
High capacity, high performance
Sony AIT-1 tape drives deliver up to 40GB
native in a compact, 8mm data cartridge.
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 and an industry leading MTBF rating of
300,000 POH (100% duty cycle).
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.
Features
- Capacity
: Up to 40 GB5 native storage capacity,
or 104 GB5 compressed (2.6:1) in a compact
form-factor - store more information in
less space.
- Performance
: Sustained data transfer rate of 6 MB/s
native provides high performance backups
- up to 21.6 GB5/hour native.
- Compression
: Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC)
provides greater data compression efficiency
- offers average compression of 2.6:1.
- Reduced
Periodic Maintenance : Super Head Cleaner
provides an automated cleaning solution
- increases head life and reduces the need
for periodic cleaning.
- Reliability
: Helical scan recording writes the tape
in one pass with a slow tape speed and allows
higher recording densities than linear recording
- reduces wear-and-tear on the data cartridge
and drive, increasing reliability, head
life, and storage capacity within a compact
form-factor.
