Sony has incorporated the WORM functionality in mid-range backup storage technology. AIT-5 media tape technology is more advantageous than other tape formats as it is more economical and performs multi-functional tasks. Highly durable AIT-5 media tape format supports the WORM tape media and also the rewritable AIT tape cartridges. New durable Sony AIT-5 tape format provides advanced and innovative mechanisms which help the businesses to backup their useful data at a fast rate. Sony has incorporated soft tape loading and automated cleaning technique to its high capacity AIT-5 format that has strengthened its media robustness and efficiency.
AIT 5 tape drive also has an innovative cooling system that regulates and prevents the temperature from exceeding the limits. This innovative cooling mechanism of AIT-5 tape format ensures consistency in performance and overall efficiency. The pollutants can enter the tape path and affect its performance and reliability. The auto cleaning system solves the problem of pollutants and protects the media and the drive components. MTBF is the average time that a device performs its functions without failure. The MTBF of AIT-5 is about 400,000 hours.

When the data is being read by the AIT-5 tape drive, the position of the MR Head is automatically controlled by the innovative dynamic tracking capability. This new technique introduced in AIT-5 tape media format has helped to heighten the quality of the read-back signals. Data read back recovery and strength is maximized in Sony AIT5 tape technology as the recorded data is automatically tracked by the tape head.
Data read recovery and read-back quality are optimized in the AIT-5 tape format due to its decreased recording distortion. Helical scan recording system of AIT-5 comprises of a highly stable and reliable rotating head which results in highly efficient and high density recording. Helical scan enables the AIT-5 tape drive to fill the AIT data tape in one complete pass. In helical recording the tape media does not have to reposition itself back and forth which increases the speed of data transfer and decreases the error rate. Increased durability of the AIT-5 tape drive’s head ensures fast speed and prevents shoe-shining effect.
As the AIT-5 tape drive fills the data cartridge in one pass, therefore this advantageous feature ensures reliable backup storage operations. Media of AIT-5 data tape is based on a highly efficient AME-III technique. AME-III technique assures smooth backup operations, increased efficiency and exceptional areal recording in AIT-5 tape technology. Advanced features have been added to the AME-III technology in which advanced mechanisms have been introduced to apply the magnetic layer along with new highly durable lubricant and media coating layer. Magnetic particle residue has been significantly reduced in AIT-5 tape format by the AME-III technology. Sony AIT-5 tape cartridge features an ultra smooth tape media that produces low noise and increased output characteristics. Minimized spacing loss results in increased output frequency and fast transfer rate. Less abrasive in AIT-5 tape storage technology results in increased head life.
