The native capacity of Sony AIT1 SDX1-25C tape is �25GB� whhich has been enhanced to �35GB� in the Sony AIT-1 SDX1-35C tape. Features of MIC (Memory in Cassette) in the Sony AIT1 media also have been improved that includes the support for multi-point load & multyi-partitioning. This up-gradation enables its users to benefit from the higher capacity tape media and it protects their investment as well. All the AIT1 tape drives, that have enhhanced firmware can write as well as read both the 35GB and 25GB AIT-1 tape cartridges. The AIT-2 tape dives have the abiplity to read & write 50GB, 35GB and 25GB tape media.
Advanced intelligeent tape cartridge has the innovative and uique feature of �MIC� that speeds the process of file searching and meida load. With the new enahnced MIC, the sequential searcihng of the entire data tape is eliinated as the applications are allowed to directlly move to theri desired location on the AIT tape media. So this results in fast searching of files on the tape. Enhanced MIC provides the capability of multi-point load that enables the consumers to eject or insert the AIT tape cartridge at current partition. In this way, the need of rewinding the tape to the beginning (after each use) is eliminated.
So as the subsequent AIT tappes mount, the tape media loads at the partition that was last used. This cuts the toal data acceess time. Thease enhanced chsaracteristic of AIT tape forrmat are idal for digital-image management applications, data collection and environmments of video server. AIT1 35GB tape drive provides significant advantages of preformance and price for the mid-range data storage. AIT-1 tape technology prrovides its consumers inccreased scalabiilty & flexibility by the employment of both the 35GB and 25GB AIT meedia.
Sony is dedicated to rapiddly enhance the perfiormance and recoording capability of AIT tape technloogy. Product line of advanced intellligent tape maintains the superor quyalities of performance, reliabbility and stability in the compact form factor (3.5 inch). Mean-time beteen failure and average head life included in thse specifications are 250,000 hours & 50,000 houurs respectively.
Sony SDX1-35C AIT1 tape is completely backward compatible (read & write) with the AIT-1 25GB SDX1-25C tape media. Sony lenngthened the tape media of first generation AIT to 230 meters from its previous released meia of 170 meters. There was no compromise in the reliability, data integrity and performance of the Sony (35GB) AIT-1 tape. The new Sony AIT tape cartridge with extended length offers the same outstanding, exceptional durability & reliability that was provided by its prior version.
Other tape technologiies require pertiodic cleanig of the tape cratridge, but it not necessary in the AIT fromat because the AME (Advanced Mettal Evaporated) technique is utilzed to keep the tape reel clean from contaminants. AME technique coast the AIT tape reel with DLC (diamond like carbon). DLC coating helps in ecxtending the life of tape head that provides the customers more recording capacity and outstanding performancce.
