Sony's new AIT-E Turbo drives are based on the field-proven, highdensity,
high-performance AIT tape technology.
AIT-E Turbo
drives offer a new entry point into the AIT family, providing an ideal
migration path for DDS users. And with forward compatibility with
the AIT-1 Turbo drives1, end-users can rest assured that there is a
growth strategy already in place to meet increasing capacity and
performance requirements. What’s more, AIT-E Turbo drives offer
a low-cost entry point into the AIT format. AIT – A hallmark of
Sony’s commitment to technological excellence.
- Up to 20 GB native storage capacity, or 52 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 6 MB/s native provides high performance backups – up to 21.6 GB/hour
native.
- 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 compression 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 storage capacity within a compact form-factor.
- Forward compatible with AIT-1 Turbo – provides a growth path and investment protection.
