AIT-1 Turbo External USB/iLink
Tape Drive
(AIT-e100-UL)

Give your backup a boost with the enhanced AIT Turbo drives providing greater flexibility, performance and value. AIT Turbo drives offer an entry level, as well as multiple migration drive options with enhanced capacity, performance and reliability for DDS, DAT72 and VXA2 users.

The concept is simple, more capacity and performance for less.

Key Features

• Capacity: Up to 40GB⁵ native storage capacity, or 104GB⁵ compressed (2.6:1) in a compact form-factor - store more information in less space.
• Performance: Sustained data transfer rate of 6 MB/s native provides high performance backups - up to 21.6GB⁵/hour native.
• Compression: Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) provides greater data compression efficiency - offers average compression of 2.6:1.
• Reduced Periodic Maintenance: Super Head Cleaner™ provides an automated cleaning solution - increases head life and reduces the need for periodic cleaning.
• 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.
