HP AIT storage media are ideal for departmental & workgroup backups where capacity, performance & cost are critical. HP AIT offers compressed capacities from 70GB to 200GB with built in MIC technology giving faster file access & higher reliability. AIT media with Advanced Intelligent Tape technology offers fast data access & a low maintenance solution for AIT tape drive customers. Optimum compatibility with all current HP AIT & pre-merger Compaq AIT drives, autoloaders & libraries. AIT storage media feature Faster Data Access-with MIC technology, files can be accessed in as little as 27 seconds-a 50% improvement over other technologies. AIT drives have self-cleaning heads to prevent an abundance of debris build-up. HP AIT-3 100/200GB data cartridge HP AIT drives & media employ a helical scan recording method in which data tracks are written at an angle with respect to the edge of the tape. This technique requires fewer passes over the drive heads to fill the tape. HP AIT data cartridges contain an Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) recording layer. AME technology enables a high recording density, enhanced signal-to-noise ratio & significantly lower tape tension to improve the longevity of the media. MIC (Memory in Cassette) is a 64k memory chip which is embedded in all HP AIT data cartridges. It offers fast load & unload times & access to data in less than 27 seconds
- from anywhere on the tape.
