Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Sony AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) format is intelligently engineered to stand apart - no other tape cartridge features both an MIC chip (the brains) and a pure metal magnetic layer designed for maximum capacity and longevity (the brawn). The SDX3-100C features 100GB native, and 260GB compressed capacity. AIT-3 is scalable and backward compatible with previous generations.

Product Description

The AIT3 data cartridge offers a massive 100GB native capacity or 260GB compressed capacity of 12MB/Sec in a native form and 31MB/Sec in compressed from AME media. The AIT3 data cartridge continues to use Advanced Metal Evaporated Tape, which has been a key enabling technology for high reliability and performance R-MIC (Remote Memory In Cassette): The AIT3 cartridge employs the newly developed 64kbit R-MIC system, which enables faster and easier access to a designated data. Compatibility: The AIT3 drive is backward read/write compatible with AIT1 and AIT2 cartridges, except for AIT2 WORM cartridges. The AIT3 cartridge is read/written only on the AIT3 drive.
