AIT-1 TURBO

Overview


Sony AIT Turbo widens the AIT family's reach and provides greater flexibility, performance and value. AIT Turbo drives offer an entry level, as well as, multiple migration drive options with enhanced capacity and performance for DDS, DAT72 and VXA2 users. The concept is simple, more capacity and performance for less.



Features

SDX-450V/RP - AIT-1 Turbo Internal SCSI Drive
SDX-460V/RP - AIT-1 Turbo Internal IDE Drive
SDX-470V/RP - AIT-1 Turbo Internal SATA Drive
SDX-D450V - AIT-1 Turbo External SCSI Drive

  • Turbo charge your tape backups with Sony AIT. New improvements for Sony AIT-1 tape drives boosts performance 50% and capacity 10%. Compact 8mm tape format is an ideal upgrade from 4mm. Lower cost and 2X the performance, plus more capacity, when compared to DAT72
  • Available with SCSI, ATAPI, SATA interfaces
  • Capacity: 40GB native, 104GB* compressed
  • Transfer Rate: - 6MB/s, 21.6GB/hr native ; 15.6MB/s*, 56.2GB/hr* compressed
  • AME Binder free AIT media, that means less head clogging, less cleaning, higher reliability
  • AIT-1 Turbo drive is backwards read/write compatible with AIT-E Turbo and AIT-1 media
  • High reliability with MTBF of 300.000 POH at 100% duty cycle. AIT-E is 7.5 times more reliable than DDS-3 same drive size as DAT drives making it easy to replace DAT in existing servers
  • Tape slot dust cover reduces environmental contaminants
  • Super Head Cleaner mechanism helps reduce the need for periodic cleaning
  • 3-years warranty

*Assumes 2.6:1 compression. Data compression performance varies according to the type of data.
Actual compression performance is generally lower if the data is already pre-compressed.
