Sony AIT1 SDX-300c

Sony AIT1 AIT Tape Drive

The Sony SDX-300C drives uses data compression to achieve high capacity and high transfer rates. Actual capacity and transfer rate depends on the source file type.

The capacity rating s listed in the next subsection are based on a 170 meter tape AIT-1 cassette (SDX-T3N and SDX-T3C) and 230 meter tape AIT-1 cassette (SDX1-35C). Short tapes are also available. The Sony SDX-300C drive is a high capacity data storage device using Advanced intelligent tape (AIT) technology. The Sony SDX-300C drive achieves high data integrity through read-after-write, an additional level of Error Correction Code, and other features.
The Sony SDX-300C drives provide MIC technology that automatically enhance reliability and performance. The

Sony SDX-300C drives provide read and write capability for MIC user data area.
