Sony SAIT-e1300F/S SAIT Tape Drive

High capacity, high performance: Sony SAIT-1 tape drives deliver up to 500 GB3 native capacity on a single half-inch data cartridge through the use of helical scan recording technology, which increases data recording density, while offering fast data transfer rates of up to 30 MB/s native.

Fast access to data with MIC: The Memory-In-Cassette feature of Sony SAIT drives, with 64 kbits of built-in cartridge memory, improve load and file access time. And, because the tape media itself does not have to load to access file location information, wear-and-tear on the media and drive is further reduced.

High reliability: Sony SAIT tape drives incorporate a sealed deck design, leader block chucking system, optical sensors, and error correction system to offer high reliability. The result is an industry leading MTBF rating of over 300,000 POH (100% duty cycle).

Reduced periodic maintenance: Sony SAIT 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, SAIT 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.
