SONY AITe520S AIT4 External SCSI Tape Drive AIT-4 (NEW)

AIT-4 External SCSI Tape Drive

Key Features

High capacity, high performance : Sony AIT-4 tape drives deliver up to 520 GB capacity (with 2.6:1 compression) in a compact, 8mm data cartridge. Helical scan technology increases data recording density, while offering fast data transfer rates of up to 62.4 MB/s (2.6:1 compression).
Fast access to data with MIC : The unique Memory-In-Cassette feature of Sony AIT drives, with 64 kbits of built-in memory, speeds access to data, providing fast loading (less than 10 seconds) and quick file access (27 to 37 seconds).
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 and an industry leading MTBF rating of 400,000 POH (100 duty cycle). Reduced periodic maintenance : Sony AIT drives use Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) media, which contains pure evaporated cobalt and is sealed with a super-durable Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. In addition, AIT drives incorporate a Super Head Cleaner mechanism that is activated automatically when tape errors approach a certain threshold. Together, the AME media and Super Head Cleaner mechanism result in extraordinary reliability and virtually eliminate the need for periodic cleaning.

Why AIT4 - AITi520S & AITE520S Drives? The Sony StorStation AITi520S and AITe520S are the 4th generation of the AIT family and are the smallest 200 GB native capacity tape drives available with the same drive form factor as DDS. AITi520S and AITe520S offer very high performance, best storage density, highest reliability and low cost per GB. An attractive alternative to LTO and SDLT This 4th Generation SuperDrive is the industries leading storage drive in reliability and robustness with 400,000 POH at 100% duty cycle that easily meets the single server and drive needs as well as the stringent needs of enterprise class automation. The WORM tape capabilities allows companies that require non-alterable media to gain up to a 20x cost advantage over other WORM optical and hard disk based technologies. Suitable For Users of DDS drives looking for a high capacity, high performance and high reliability tape drive in the same form factor (size) and with a future backwards compatible roadmap Medium-sized businesses that have outgrown their current storage system capabilities Larger corporate with enterprise-class data protection needs A variety of multimedia applications from security surveillance, video editing/production to digital image management HP Proliant, IBM, Dell, Fujitsu Siemens server environments, tested and certified with those servers for easy integration of additional back-up drives. Product Number AITe520S - AIT-4 external SCSI tape drive System Integrator Model Key Features and Benefits Highest capacity tape drive in the same size as DDS drive with 200GB native backup capacity. Most reliable tape drive available with less failures and higher confidence in backups and a MTBF = 400,000 hrs @ 100% duty cycle. Amongst the fastest tape drives available with a very fast backup and restore backing up 200GB of data in just 2.5 hours at a speed = 24 MB/s Only AIT offers dust proof bezels that seal the mechanism even when the media is ejected, therefore making it a more reliable tape drive that works well even in dusty office environments Easy integration in to HP ProLiant Servers with no support issues - Installation Kit included. It has a small form factor alternative to DDS with higher capacity, higher performance, higher reliability for HP ProLiant Servers. Fastest access to data for tape drives results in faster backups and restores, all made possible with a 64kbit Remote MIC. (largest cassette chip available) AME(Advanced Metal Evaporated) media technology features no binder materials, with a cobalt layer it improves tape life by 20%. AME media means less frequent cleaning, long head life, and greater data integrity. Estimated 30+ years of data archival life WORM (Write Once Read Many) AIT and S-AIT are the only volume (entry / midrange) tape products to offer WORM functionality which meet regulatory media needs with tape for less money and up to 20X the capacity of major optical formats HP Proliant, IBM, Dell, Fujitsu Siemens server compatible,which means hassle free installation for server integration * assuming 2.6:1 max compression ratio
