Sony SDX5-400W AIT-5 WORM (Write Once Read Many times) Data Tape Cartridge. Native 400GB and 1040GB compressed data storage device. Uses AME-3(Advanced Metal Evaporated ) layer which is extension of AME-1, AME-2 which help increase retentivity. AIT-5 is backward compaitable with AIT-4, AIT-3, AIT-2, AIT-1. Sony SDX5-400W uses AME (Advanced Metal Evaporated) Tape which is a patented process for depositing a pure metal magnetic layer directly on the base film without adhesive or binders. The benefit from this AME technology is maximum recording performance. MIC (Memory in Cassette) – The AIT cartridges feature a built-in flash memory chip that stores directory and operational information. The result is rapid access to desired data and greatly reduced loading and ejection times.DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) Coating – The tape surface is protected by a smooth carbon coating that is nearly as hard as diamond and 20 times harder than metal oxides.
