Internal 260 GB AIT-3 SCSI Drive with 5.25-inch bezel
High Capacity Tape Storage
The Sony SDX-700C drive delivers up to 260 GB capacity (with
2.6:1 compression) in a compact, 3.5-inch form factor.
Fast Data Transfer Rates
Sony AIT-3 tape drives offer high data transfer rates of 12.0
MB/s native and 34 MB/s with 2.0:1 compression for today's
most demanding data storage environments.
Backward Compatibility
Sony AIT-3 drives are fully backward read and write compatible
with both AIT-2 tape media (36 GB and 50 GB data cartridges),
and AIT-1 media (25 GB and 35 GB data cartridges). Backward
compatibility helps protect your investment in the valuable
data you already have stored on previous generation AIT data
cartridges, while delivering the increased capacity and performance
of AIT-3 tape technology.
High Reliability
Sony AIT drives incorporate a redesigned head geometry, reducing
head / tape pressure and delivering up to 50,000 hours of
head life. The built-in Super Head Cleaner™ mechanism
results in an industry leading MTBF rating of 400,000 POH.
Remote Memory-In-Cassette (R-MIC)
A 64 kbit memory chip embedded into the data cartridge provides
high speed file location and file access.
