SDLT
Super DLT Platform lineup with new technical features with 160GB (Native) and 320GB (Compressed). The Advanced Metal Powder formulation used on SDLT pushes the technology and performance levels forward, yet maintaining the one-reel design, the unstressed tape path and the stationary tape head, time proven to ensure extra stability and reliability
High durability and tape travel stability
It has the durability to withstand repeated load/unload cycles in library environments. The new cartridge also contributes to improved tape travel stability.
Sharply reduced error rate
Sony sharply reduced the error rate during high density recording by improving tape surface smoothness and using a thinner magnetic layer, both of which are key to higher storage capacity in magnetic tape media.
First optical servo in the industry
Increased recording track density is essential to higher storage capacity. SDLT features the industry's first optical servo technology, providing the tracking precision that is crucial to reading these narrower tracks.
Migration path to the future
While maintaining compatibility with previous-generation DLT products, the SDLT tape format offers continuing improvements in recording capacity. This migration path means a long-term storage platform that you can use with confidence.
