About the AIT Drive
Features
The AITe130V-UL is an external AIT-2 drive using data cartridges that
conform to the AIT-1 and AIT-2 formats.
The AITe90V-UL is an external AIT drive using data cartridges that conform
to the AIT-1 format.
The AITe130V-UL AIT drive has the following features.
• Uses the Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) format AIT-1 and AIT-2 data
cartridges. AIT-1 data cartridges provide 35 GB of storage (no
compression) on a 230-m tape. AIT-2 data cartridges provide 50 GB of
storage (no compression) on a 230-m tape. The Read After Write function
and Third Level Error Correction Code ensure high data reliability.
• The drive comes with a data compression function, providing a maximum
of 91 GB of storage on an AIT-1 data cartridge (230-m tape) and 130 GB
on an AIT-2 data cartridge (230-m tape).
• Stored data is automatically checked for compression. The drive can also
read data recorded with other devices.
• The drive is equipped with a USB and i.LINK (IEEE 1394) interface. You
can therefore connect the drive to either connector to your computer.

Note
You cannot use the USB and i.LINK interfaces simultaneously.
• The drives support Hot Plug, which means that you can connect and
disconnect it while the drives and/or your computer is on.
• To remove the AIT drive, execute "Safely Remove Hardware" on the
Windows taskbar, and then disconnect the AIT drive.

Assuming a 2.6:1 hardware compression ratio.
The actual degree of compression during recording depends on the system environment and
the type of data.
