 Sony SDX-400C / BM - AIT-1 Tape Drives High Capacity, High Performance
The Sony SDX-400C tape drive delivers up to 91 GB of data storage capacity in a compact, 8mm data cartridge. 33% Increased Performance
Built around Sony`s rock-solid AIT tape technology, the SDX-400C adds 33% higher performance to the AIT-1 product line. Using an Ultra Wide SCSI interface, the SDX-400C series delivers data at sustained transfer rates up to 10.4 MB/s (with 2.6:1 compression). High Reliability
Sony AIT 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 a 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. Reduced Periodic Maintenance
Sony AIT drives incorporate a Super Head Cleaner™ mechanism activated automatically by the drive mechanism when tape errors approach a certain threshold.
