Industry-leading AIT tape technology was introduced by Sony. Its faster read/write speed, robust features and high storage capacity allow the users to manage the exploding data amounts in a cost effective manner. Sony's data storage devices are intelligently developed to stand apart. Advanced and high performance data storage solutions offered by Sony AIT-3 tape technology enable the customers to meet the challenges of strict industry regulations.

SDX-D700C/BM is a high speed AIT-3 external drive, which is a smart choice for real-time data acquisition, midrange businesses, workgroups, audio/video applications and demanding environments. At 12 MB/s native speed, the Sony SDX-D700C/BM drive assures exceptional data integrity and seamless backup operations. With Sony AIT-3 tape technology, the data administrators can efficiently store and backup critical data files in legal, defense, government, education, medical and financial industries. AIT-3 technology features an impressive 2.6:1 compression ratio.

To assure long term protection and regulatory compliance, WORM technology has been incorporated in SDX-D700C/BM ...
... external drive. WORM technique is supported by Sony SDX3-100W, AIT3 tape. Part number of re-writable AIT3 cartridge is SDX3-100C. Data backed up on a WORM tape cartridge can't be over-written or altered. Storage capacity of Sony AIT-3 tape is 100GB / 260GB.

Sony continues to focus on the needs and demand of its customers. That's why Sony has introduced the backup compatibility feature in SDX-D700C/BM tape drive. The customers can use all the three AIT tapes including AIT-1, AIT 2 and AIT-3 with SDX-D700C/BM tape drive. You can store data and also extract the previously recorded data from all these AIT tapes. Sony AIT-3 tape format provides you a smooth migration path. Below listed tapes are backward compatible (read and write):

- Sony AIT-2 backup tapes
Part no. SDX2-50WA, SDX2-36C and SDX2-50C

- Sony AIT-1 backup tapes
Part no. SDX1-35C and SDX1-25C

Sony AIT-3 tapes are built tough to support high density recordings and provide long term protection. Robust characteristics of Sony AIT-3 media tape come from the pure metal particles and the intelligent AME (advanced metal evaporated) technique. Tape reel of AIT3 Sony cartridge is composed of pure cobalt that contributes to its superior resistance against tape friction, humidity and debris. Sony SDX-D700C/BM drive provides super-fast access to the stored data files.

Strong base film of AIT-3 tape helps to strengthen the output signals during heavy duty cycles, and provide exceptional durability up to 30,000 tape passes. Combination of higher speed and smaller size of Sony AIT3 allows you to backup more data in lesser space. Architecture of SDX-D700C/BM drive's head has been re-designed to extend its durable life up to 50,000 hours.

Sony has devised a new carbon coating that protects the tape surface from dust and pollutants. Strength of this AIT tape's carbon coating is almost 20 times greater than the conventional metal oxide tapes. New carbon coating maximizes the robustness of tape medium and boosts its performance level. Sony AIT-3 cartridge is one third the size of competing backup tapes of equivalent storage capacity. Sony AIT3 is indeed more intelligent, durable, efficient and longer lasting.
