Description
The Sony SDX2-36C / SDX236C AIT-2 / AIT2 data cartridge stores up to 36GB native capacity and up to 72GB compressed capacity. The Sony AIT-2 36GB tape is the predecessor to the SDX2-50C and will work in the same drives but with less capacity.
The Sony SXDX2-36C data cartridge can be read and written to in AIT-2 drives such as the SDX-500 and SDX-520 series, AIT-2 turbo drives such as the SDX-550 and SDX-560, and the SDX-570 series, and AIT-3 drives such as the SDX-700 series. The Sony SXDX2-36C data cartridge can be read only in an AIT-3Ex drive, such as the SDX-800 series.
The Sony AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) format has Memory-In-Cassette (MIC), a memory chip built into the data cartridge. The MIC chip speeds data access by enabling users to load and unload the tape at any of its 256 on-tape partitions and locate files in seconds. This wide tape is designed for use in all AIT2 drives.
All AIT drives that use SDX2-36C Sony AIT-2 72GB tape cartridges are recommended to use the Sony SDX1-CL AIT 1-3 Drive Cleaning Cartridge to keep the AIT drive in top condition.
Sony has discontinued the AIT-2 SDX2-36C 72GB with chip data cartridge, and we have limited stock left. These are also available for overseas purchase, so please use "contact us" for any enquiries, as our website will only allow sales to Australia & New Zealand.
