Description

The Sony SDX3-150CN is a data cartridge utilizing the AIT 3Ex (Advanced Intelligent Tape 3 Extended) format. This technology represents an evolution of Sony's AIT tape system, offering enhanced performance and capacity compared to earlier AIT generations. The cartridge provides a native storage capacity of 150 gigabytes, which can be expanded to approximately 375 gigabytes when data compression is applied by compatible AIT-3Ex drives. A key feature of Sony's AIT cartridges, including the SDX3-150CN, is the integrated Memory-in-Cassette (MIC) chip. This chip stores metadata about the tape, such as its contents, usage history, and file directory, enabling faster tape management and quicker access to data without the need to mount the tape. This significantly improves the efficiency of backup and restore operations, especially in automated tape libraries. Designed for demanding backup and archival applications, the SDX3-150CN offers high data transfer rates and reliable performance. It is an excellent choice for businesses and organizations that require robust data protection solutions for their critical information. Compatibility is with AIT 3Ex tape drives and libraries. The 'CN' designation might indicate a specific region or packaging, but the core technology remains AIT 3Ex.
