AIT2

The CY-8102 AIT-2 drive is a truly outstanding value, with full read and write compatibility with the previous generation`s 25GB, 35GB and 36GB tapes. With 50-150 GB capacity and 6-18 MB/s speed, the CY-8102 brings all the convenience and features of AIT to the enterprise class of backup solutions. Superior performance is only half the story with the CY-8102. The tape subsystem is loaded with standard features that no other technology can match. The CY-8102 utilizes Advanced Metal Evaporative media, which incorporates pure cobalt metallization with a durable "diamond-like" carbon coating which decreases error rates and increases media uses up to 30,000.

The CY-8102 also features a built-in head cleaner, which keeps the tape path free of contaminants and eliminates the time and expense associated with the use of regular head cleaning tapes. The innovative Memory-In-Cassette feature speeds access to data for fast, easy file restore. Exceptional reliability has earned AIT technology the highest ratings in customer satisfaction. With a MTBF of over 300,000 hours, unsurpassed data integrity with a bit error rate of less than 1 in 1017 , and full read after write ECC, the CY-8102 is a solid solution with excellent dependability.
