8-cartridge magazine for up to 192 GB storage (with 2:1 compression)
Sony DDS autoloaders utilize a compact 8-cartridge magazine with a unique push mechanism tape transport. The magazine design delivers reliable automated tape handling while reducing the typical mis-grip issues associated with other tape transport technologies.

The fastest DDS tape mechanism in it`s class, the SDT-9000 delivers data at sustained transfer rates up to 2.4 MB/s (with 2:1 compression) while providing reliable recording with Sony`s patented Super Head Cleanerª mechanism.
