Key Features
Capacity :   SAIT is the world’s first tape technology to break the 1 TB barrier on a single tape cartridge, offering up to 1.3 TB compressed1 capacity.
Advanced Features :   Utilizing the advanced features of AIT, such as helical-scan recording technology, Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) media, and Remote-Sensing Memory-in-Cassette (R-MIC), SAIT has achieved a massive 500 GB native storage capacity, or 1.3 TB compressed1, within a half-inch, single-reel tape cartridge.
Performance :   A maximum sustained data transfer rate of 30 MB/s native provides high performance for high-end enterprise solutions.
AME Media :   Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) media contains pure evaporated cobalt, which is sealed with a super-durable Diamond-Like Carbon coating, providing extraordinary reliability, and reducing the need for periodic cleaning.
MIC Chip :   Remote-Sensing Memory-In-Cassette (R-MIC), a memory chip built into the cartridge, provides sophisticated data access capabilities, such as high-speed file search and file access.
Industry Standard :   The half-inch single-reel tape cartridge is industry-standard size, allowing for minimal cost when integrating SAIT into existing automation solutions.
Reliability :   Innovative features, such as the automatic head cleaning system, AME media, a reliable "leader block" tape threading system, sealed deck design, and a simplified tape load path, result in improved reliability.
WORM :   Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) functionality increases data security by safeguarding against overwriting, erasure and alteration of data.
Green Initiatives :   Sony’s complete line of tape drives is RoHS compliant.
