The AIT family now features AIT-3 drives with up to five times the capacity of Sony's DDS-4 tape solutions. Planning to replace DDS? Sony's AIT is a natural choice.
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 (100% duty cycle).
