Cost effective entry level tape drive backup for small businesses.
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 GB native storage capacity, or 104 GB compressed (2.6:1) in a compact, 3.5", half-height 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 GB/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.
