Sony AIT-e50/S AIT-E Turbo SCSI External Drive
Key Features |
|
Reliability | Helical scan recording writes the tape in one pass with a slow tape speed and allows higher recording densities than linear recording – reduces wear-and-tear on the data cartridge and drive, increasing reliability, head life, and storage capacity within a compact form-factor. |
Capacity | Up to 20 GB native storage capacity, or 52 GB compressed (2.6:1) in a compact, – store more information in less space. |
Performance | Sustained data transfer rate of 6 MB/s native provides high performance backups – up to 21.6 GB/hour native. |
