Description:


Built around Sony's AIT tape technology, the SDX-420C series tape drives offer up to 33% higher performance to the ultra-reliable and innovative AIT-1 product line. Using an Ultra Wide SCSI interface, the SDX-400C series delivers data at sustained transfer rates up to 10.4 MB/s (with 2.6: 1 compression). 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 300.000 POH. 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.
