SONY SDX-500C/L AIT-2 INTERNAL TAPE DRIVE

Description

Sony’s Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) technology is the latest in a long line of innovative tape solutions developed and brought to market by Sony. For over 50 years, Sony has led the industry in developing new tape technologies for practical applications-from the first audio recording stationary head device to the first digital audiotape. Now, Sony’s AIT drives and autoloaders are setting new standards for reliability, capacity and performance in today’s most demanding environments. Whether you need a single drive to back up a workstation or a multi-cartridge tape autoloader for unattended network backup, Sony’s AIT solutions provide a reliable, cost-effective, and high-performance solution. Unlike the linear serpentine recording technology used by DLT drives, the Sony AIT drive employs a helical scan recording style in which data tracks are written at an angle relative to the edge of the tape. This provides higher density recording, enabling Sony customers to lower media costs and increase efficiency by storing more data on a smaller amount of tape. The AIT SDX-500C/L comes with library drive kit.
