Deciding upon the right storage solution for your business needs is an increasingly difficult task in today's rapidly expanding market. Speed, reliability and a high storage capacity are obvious essentials, but are useless statistics without complete software support and backward compatibility with your existing storage system.

Fortunately, the Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) family of drives meets all the demands placed on tape technologies from the low-end right through to the high-end of the spectrum, and goes on to exceed expectations with their groundbreaking solution kits and unique features. MIC (Memory-In-Cassette) provides an innovative interface between drive and cartridge to enable extremely fast data access, while AME tape material allows high storage density without compromising on reliability.

Available in kits featuring TapeCopy software that will migrate data seamlessly from virtually any tape format to AIT, you can be sure that Sony can provide a storage solution tailored to your needs.

Plus the ATAPI interface on this drive means that there is no need to buy a SCSI card. Which means an instant cost saving for you, with no compromise on performance.
