Sony’s AIT-1 tape drives are based on high-performance AIT technology
- simplifying tape backup so users can instead focus on their business.
AIT's high capacity allows for most anyone to backup an entire system
on one AIT tape - that fits inside a shirt pocket! It's an ideal solution
for anyone working on laptops, desktop PCs, workstations, and even
small servers who need to reliably store and access large amounts
of data. And, the retail price of an AIT-1 drive is now less than that
of a DDS-4 drive. What's more, the AIT roadmap offers an impressive
growth path with backward read-and-write compatibility, so you can
upgrade your performance and capacity as needed.
- Up to 35 GB native storage capacity, or 90 GB compressed (2.6:1) in a compact, 3.5", half-height form-factor — store more information in less space.
- Sustained data transfer rate of 4 MB/s native, 10.4/s compressed provides high performance backups — up to 14.4 GB/hour native or 36 GB/hour compressed.
- Extremely durable Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) media — provides extraordinary reliability and durability,
and promotes long head life due to non-abrasive properties.
- Sophisticated data access capability with Memory-In-Cassette, a 64-kbit memory chip built into the data cartridge — provides high speed file location and file access, and fast media load.
- Super Head Cleaner™ provides an automated cleaning solution — increases head life and reduces the need
for periodic cleaning.
- Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) provides greater data compression efficiency — offers average
compresion of 2.6:1.
- 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 data integrity.
- Backward compatibility with current and future generation AIT models — provides investment protection.
