Sony SAITE1300SS External, 1.3 TB, 78 MB/s SCSI Drive
SAIT technology is the latest concept in high-capacity and high-performance recording targeted at enterprise storage markets. SAIT technology utilizes a half-inch, single-reel cartridge and provides over twice the uncompressed capacity of the nearest linear half-inch tape drive. Sony Electronics is raising the stakes for high-capacity backup with a line of branded tape drives based on its SAIT-1 format. The 500GB native capacity of the SAIT-1 drives will exceed that of any other tape drive currently on the market by at least two-fold, making them an ideal choice for both server and network backup. With the ability to store up to 1.3 TB of compressed data on a half-inch tape cartridge, SAIT-1 is the first standalone drive to break the 1 TB capacity barrier. Sustained data transfer rates for the drives will reach up to 78 MB per second (30 MB/sec native) for efficient data recording and fast data recovery.
