The data capacity, data transfer rate and data reliability specifications this chapter require the media to conform to
the AIT-E Turbo, AIT-1 Turbo, AIT-1, AIT-2 and AIT-2 Turbo Media Specification and also require the drive and
media to remain within their respective operating and non-operating environmental specifications. The specifications
