AIT-3

Overview


AIT-3 is the upgrade option for existing AIT drive users offering 100GB native capacity and compatibility with AIT-1 and AIT-2 (including Turbo) media. With WORM tape capabilities, AIT-3 helps facilitate business with long-term archival capabilities.



Features

SDX-700V/RP - Internal SCSI Drive
SDX-D700V - External SCSI Drive

  • AIT-3 is a small SuperDrive with 100GB capacity in the same size as a DAT drive. It has the highest reliability with MTBF 400,000 hours at 100% duty cycle easily meeting the single server drive needs
  • Capacity : 100GB native, 260GB* compressed - Double the capacity of AIT-2. Backwards compatible with AIT-1, AIT-2 and AIT-3 (including Turbo) media offering an ideal upgrade path current AIT users.
  • Transfer Rate - 12MB/s, 43.2GB/hr native ; 31.2MB/s*, 112.32GB/hr* compressed
  • Highest density in tape with a 3.5-inch form factor for easy integration into existing systems. In addition, drives are available in both black and white bezels and 5.25" rails for convenience, flexibility, and easy integration into a variety of environments.
  • Super Head Cleaner mechanism helps reduce the need for periodic cleaning
  • AME (Advanced Metal Evaporated) Media causes less cleaning requests, long head life, less failures and greater data integrity.
  • Efficient data management with Memory In Cassette (MIC) and Remote Memory In Cassette (RMIC)
  • Dust protective bezel - more reliable tape drive that works well even in dusty office environments.
  • High reliability with MTBF of 400,000 POH (100% duty cycle), head life of 50,000 hours (typical).
  • Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) functionality provides added security reducing the likelihood that recorded data will be erased or altered
  • 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.
