External 260 GB AIT-3 SCSI Drive
High Capacity Tape Storage
The Sony SDX-D700C delivers up to 260 GB of data storage (with
2.6:1 compression) in a compact 3.5-inch form factor.
Fast Data Transfer Rates
Sony AIT-3 drives offer fast data transfer rates of 12.0 MB/s
native and 24 MB/s with 2.0:1 compression for today's most
demanding data storage environments.
Backward Compatibility
AIT-3 drives are fully backward-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
ensures investment protection in the valuable data you already
have stored on older AIT tape cartridges.
High Reliability
Sony AIT drives incorporate a redesigned head geometry that
reduces head / tape pressure, 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.
