AIT technology reflects Sony's 50 years of innovation and technical excellence in magnetic recording. AIT drives and media are characterized by 8mm media form-factor in a compact 3.5-inch drive mechanism featuring helical-scan recording, unique Memory-in-Cassette (MIC) architecture, advanced read/write head technology and the exclusive use of Advanced Metal Evaporated 8mm AME Tape media. These characteristics result in high capacity and performance, outstanding reliability, fast data search and superior data protection through the use of Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) capability.
Since the AIT technology platform was announced in 1996, Sony has continuously enhanced the format, introducing three compatible generations of AIT with applications spanning from the desktop to the enterprise. AIT enjoys broad customer support, with over 500,000 drives installed worldwide.
