Sony AIT-3Ex tape drives are backward compatible, protecting your investment in the valuable data you already have stored on previous generation AIT data cartridges, while delivering the increased capacity and performance of AIT-3Ex technology.

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 Super Head Cleaner mechanism results in an industry leading MTBF rating of 400, 000 POH.

Up to 150 GB native storage capacity or 390 GB compressed (2.6:1) in a compact, 3.5" half height form-factor - store more information in less space. Sustained data transfer rate of 4 MB/s native provides high performance for today's most demanding environments - backup up to 14.4 GB/hour native. Extremely durable Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) media provides extraordinary reliability and a virtually contamination-free environment reducing the need for periodic cleaning.

A 64Kbit memory chip built into the data cartridge offers sophisticated data access capability providing high-speed file location and file access. Super Head Cleaner provides an automated cleaning solution and increases head life and reduces the need for periodic cleaning. Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) provides greater data compression efficiency and offers average compression of 2.6:1. Helical Scan Recording writes the tape in one pass with a slow tape speed and allows higher recording densities than linear recording - it reduces wear-and-tear on the data cartridge and drive, increasing reliability, head life, and storage capacity within a compact form-factor.
