The SDX-D500V drive has the following features:
• Supports reading and writing to data cartridges conforming to the AIT-2
and AIT-1 formats.
• The third-level error correction code guarantees high data reliability.
• Data compression provides 130 gigabytes of storage on SDX2-50C data
cartridges.*
The native capacity is 50 gigabytes of storage on SDX2-50C data
cartridges.
• Stored data are automatically checked for compression.
• Wide Ultra SCSI (LVD/SE) interface is fully supported for host computer
access.
• Frame rewrite function
The SDX-D400V drive has the following features:
• Supports reading and writing to data cartridges conforming to the AIT-1
format.
• The third-level error correction code guarantees high data reliability.
• Data compression provides 91 gigabytes of storage on SDX1-35C data
cartridges.*
The native capacity is 35 gigabytes of storage on SDX1-35C data
cartridges.
• Stored data are automatically checked for compression.
• Wide Ultra SCSI (LVD/SE) interface is fully supported for host computer
access.
• Frame rewrite function
*
This is assuming 2.6:1 compression ratio.
The degree of data compression attained while recording data varies according to system
environment and data type.
