Sony AIT-2 WORM Data Cartridge SDX2-50W

The Sony SDX2-50W / SDX250W AIT-2 130GB WORM data cartridge stores up to 50GB native capacity and up to 130GB compressed capacity on this 230m tape. The SDX2-50W AIT-2 130GB tape is a Write Once Read Many (WORM) tape ideal for preventing data from being overwritten. The AIT-2 Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) tape format protects valuable data against accidental erasure and writes at a sustained native transfer rate of 6 MB/sec using Helical Scan technology. The Sony SXDX2-50W data cartridge can be read and written in AIT-2 drives such as the SDX-500 series, AIT-2 turbo drives such as the SDX-550, SDX-560, and SDX-570 series, and AIT-3 drives such as the SDX-700 series. The Sony SXDX2-50C data cartridge can be read only in an AIT-3Ex drive, such as the SDX-800 series.

Sony AIT-2 tapes have proven reliability and durability, with a 30-year media life thanks to AME technology (Advanced Metal Evaporated). AIT's unique Remote Memory-In-Cassette (R-MIC) provides quick access and is incorporated into the cartridge. The drive's cleaning tape is SDX1-CL.
