The Sony SDX-500 / 500C offers high capacity in an extremely compact
3.5-inch form factor. With a compact size that is a fraction of
the size of other high-capacity formats, these drives are easy to
integrate into desktop workstations, servers, and automated tape
libraries. The AIT-2 format delivers up to 100 GB capacity (with
2:1 compression) in a compact, 8mm data cartridge. Helical scan
technology increases data recording density, while offering fast
data transfer rates of up to 12.0 MB/s.
These tape drives are fully read and write compatible with both
AIT-2 media (36 GB and 50 GB data cartridges), and AIT-1 media (25
GB and 35 GB) data cartridges. Backward compatibility helps protect
your investment in the valuable data you already have stored on
AIT-1 data cartridges, while delivering the increased capacity and
performance of AIT-2 technology.
