Appendix J: Glossary SDX-450V series Ver.1.0 Table of Contents 1.Introduction 1. Introduction 1.1. About this Product Specification Manual This Product Specification Manual is applicable for AIT-1 Turbo drive. This manual provides information about the Sony SDX-450V series Advanced Intelligent Tape Drives which is necessary to integrate the drives into OEM products. This manual describes the specifications, SCSI Interface, diagnostics, operation and installation of the Sony AIT-1 Turbo Tape Drives. The Sony SDX-450V drive uses data compression to achieve high capacity and high transfer rates. Actual capacity and transfer rate depends on the source file type. The capacity ratings listed in the next subsection are based on a 186 meter tape AIT-1 Turbo cassette. The Sony SDX-450V drive is a high capacity data storage device using Advanced intelligent tape (AIT) technology. The Sony SDX-450V drive achieves high data integrity through read-after-write, an additional level of Error Correction Code, and other features. The Sony SDX-450V drives provide MIC technology that automatically enhance reliability and performance. The Sony SDX-450V drives provide read and write capabili ...
