HelicanScan Vs Linear Scan

Sony AIT-4 Tape Drive <<<Go Back

This SuperDrive is the industry's leading storage drive in reliability and robustness with 400,000 POH at 100% duty cycle that easily meets the single server tape drive needs.

The WORM tape capabilities allows companies that require non-alterable media to gain up to a 20 times cost advantage over other WORM optical and hard disk based technologies.

Key Features and Benefits

  • High capacity storage for data security and archiving – up to 200 GB native storage capacity, or 520 GB compressed (2.6:1) in a compact, 3.5" half-height form-factor.
  • Data transfer rate of 24 MB/s native provides high performance for today’s most demanding environments – backup up to 86.4 GB/hour native.
  • Extremely durable Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) media – provides a virtually contamination-free environment reducing the need for periodic cleaning, and extraordinary reliability.
  • Sophisticated data access capability with Remote Memory-In-Cassette (R-MIC), a 64-kbit memory chip embedded into the data cartridge – provides high speed file location and file access.
  • Super Head Cleaner™ mechanism – provides an automated cleaning solution increasing head life and reducing the need for periodic cleaning.
  • Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) provides greater data compression efficiency – offers average compression of 2.6:1.
  • Helical scan recording writes the tape in one pass with a slow tape speed – reduces wear-and-tear on the tape media and drive, increasing reliability and head life.
  • Write Once/Read Many (WORM) functionality1 – Provides added security reducing the likelihood that recorded data will be maliciously or inadvertently erased or altered, and shortens the time it takes to access to data.

Best Suitable

Medium-sized businesses that have outgrown their current storage system capabilities
Larger corporate with enterprise-class data protection needs
A variety of multimedia applications from security surveillance,video editing/production to digital image management.

Enhanced Capacity and Performance

The AIT-4 drive has a 200 GB native cartridge capacity available at LTO 2 prices.
High Backup Data transfer rate with up to 24MB/s (native), the AIT-4 drive offers high value for backing up large amount of data.

More reliability

High reliable tape drive with 300.000h MTBF. The AIT-4 technology is more reliable than LTO and SDLT technologies.
AME Binder free AIT media for cleaner read write head, resulting in less head clogging, less cleaning required and higher reliability.
