OEM SAIT Tape Drives
The explosive growth of digital content is creating tremendous demands for data storage. Sony's 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 compressed capacity1. SAIT leverages Sony's 50 years experience in recording technologies, including R&D investments in the field-proven AIT format. Sony achieved the high capacity by utilizing high density technologies, including helical-scan recording and AME media, scaled into a half-inch cartridge and full-height 5.25-inch drive. SAIT also offers Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) functionality, providing enhanced, cost-effective data security for mission-critical archival applications.

  • Provides up to 500 GB native (1.3 TB compressed1) capacity on a single tape cartridge
  • Offers high data transfer rates of up to 30 MB/s native
  • Leverages Sony's scalable and reliable AIT format, within a 5.25-inch extended drive form-factor and using a single reel, half-inch cartridge
  • Uses the industry standard single-reel, half-inch cartridge, easily integrating into existing environments based on the half-inch format
  • Memory-In-Cassette (MIC) improves file access and search speed
  • Enhanced data security with WORM functionality
