Product Description
The Sony SDX-400C is an internal 3.5-inch tape drive that leverages the AIT-1 (Advanced Intelligent Tape) technology for reliable data backup and archiving. It connects via a Fast Wide SCSI interface, utilizing a 68-pin connector, which was a common high-speed interface for storage devices during its era. This drive is designed to provide a robust solution for businesses needing to store significant amounts of data securely and cost-effectively. With a native storage capacity of 35GB, the SDX-400C can store up to 90GB of data when using its built-in compression technology. This compression capability significantly reduces the number of tapes required, lowering storage costs and simplifying media management. The AIT technology incorporates features like read-after-write verification and error correction codes to ensure data integrity and reliability during backup and restore operations. The drive's performance, with native transfer rates of up to 3 MB/s (approximately 10.8 GB/hour), makes it suitable for scheduled backups of moderate data volumes. Its internal form factor allows for seamless integration into desktop workstations or servers equipped with a compatible SCSI controller. The SDX-400C represents a dependable option for long-term data archiving and disaster recovery strategies.
