Increased Capacity In A Smaller Form Factor! The AIT format was developed by Sony to handle the large capacity requirements of large, data-intensive applications. Available in a tiny, 3.5 inch form factor, Sony's AIT drives and media provide 25 GB (native) and 50 GB (with 2:1 compression) capacity on a single 8mm data cartridge, making it the most efficient, cost-effective solution in the industry for unattended backup. Sony's next generation of AIT-2 drives and autoloaders will double this capacity again. Key Features: AIT, Advanced Intelligent Tape format 25GB (uncompressed) Hyper Evaticle layer is a 100% cobalt dual magnetic layer which assures high output.

Thus, less drive and media wear due to less shuttle requirements. AME (Advanced Metal Evaporated) high performance multi-layer structure. Aluminum plate armored cartridge. Improves cartridge stability. Finely Textured Lubricant improves runnability, withstanding 20,000 passes.
