S-AIT
In November 2001, Sony made a technology
announcement indicating its plans to develop
a next-
generation AIT format called S-AIT. Like
AIT, S-AIT is based on helical scan recording
technology. The
new specification will allow for native
capacities up to 500GB on a single cartridge,
with native data
transfer rates up to 30 MB/sec. With 2.6:1
compression, the first-generation S-AIT
drive will be capable of
storing up to 1.3TB of data on a single
cartridge at transfer rates up to 78 MB/sec.
Like it did with AIT,
Sony has stated its goal of doubling capacity
and performance every two years, allowing
the S-AIT
architecture to reach native capacities
of 4TB and native transfer rates of 240
MB/sec. S-AIT drives will be
housed in a full height 5.25-inch extended
drive form factor, whereas existing AIT
models use a 3.5-inch
form factor. First-generation S-AIT drives
are expected to support Ultra 160 SCSI and
fibre channel
interfaces. S-AIT is expected to leverage
some of Sony's technology and component
research done for
AIT, but will use a 600m single-reel, half-inch
tape cartridge housed in a cartridge similar
to an LTO or
SDLT cartridge. The form factor of S-AIT
drives and its media should allow for quick
integration into
existing automation solutions. S-AIT media
will include R-MIC technology, which enables
fast load times
and data searches. Sony has partnered with
Matsushita, a company with expertise in
helical-scan product
design and manufacturing, to bring S-AIT
to market in the late 2002 or early 2003
time frame.
