Sony AIT2 Turbo SDX-550V

Sony AIT2 Turbo AIT Tape Drive

The Sony SDX-550V drive uses data compression to achieve high capacity and high transfer rates. Actual capacity and transfer rate depends on the source file type.

The capacity ratings listed in the next subsection are based on a 186 meter tape AIT-2 Turbo cassette. The Sony SDX-550V drive is a high capacity data storage device using Advanced intelligent tape (AIT) technology. The Sony SDX-550V drive achieves high data integrity through read-after-write, an additional level of Error Correction Code, and other features.

The Sony SDX-550V drives provide MIC technology that automatically enhance reliability and performance. The Sony SDX-550V drives provide read and write capability for MIC user data area.
