High performance tape drive technology built-in 

The TSL-SA400C/TB autoloader is built around Sony’s proven AIT-1 tape technology, the SDX-400C tape drive. The SDX-400C delivers data at sustained transfer rates up to 10.0 MB/s (with 2.6:1 compression) while providing reliable recording with Sony’s Active Head Cleaner mechanism.

Fast access to data with MIC 

The unique Memory-In-Cassette feature of Sony AIT tape, with 64 kB of built-in programmable memory, speeds access to data. With an MIC reader built into the elevator mechanism of the autoloader, search times can be dramatically reduced.

High reliability 

Sony AIT tape drives incorporate a redesigned head geometry, reducing head/tape pressure and delivering up to 50,000 hours of head life. The built-in Active Head Cleaner mechanism results in an industry leading MTBF rating of 300,000 POH.
