AME-III coating process strengthens the base film of AIT-5 tape media and contributes to the increased data density and outstanding output characteristics.� AME-III is the advanced form of AME-II technology in which new mechanism has been employed to apply magnetic layer onto the media tape reel. Sony has introduced a new and highly reliable lubricant that assists the Sony AIT-5 tape format to stabilize its backup operations. SDX5-400W is the WORM cartridge while the SDX5-400C tape cartridge does not include the WORM functionality. SDX5-400C and SDX5-400W are based on the Sony AIT-5 media technology. The noise level has been significantly decreased in Sony AIT-5 media tapes by the AME-III technique. AME III technology has also helped to decrease the magnetic particles’ size thus making the tape surface smoother. Low noise level and increased track density allows Sony SDX5-400W tape cartridge to record voluminous amount of data at a brisk rate with decreased error rate. Spacing loss has been significantly decreased by Sony in the AIT-5 media format by incorporating the latest AME-III technology. The ultra smooth tape of Sony SDX5-400C backup cartridge comprises of small sized metal particles that are very useful in high density recording. Sony AIT5 offers breakthrough features that make it unique and more durable tape media than other tape technologies. Metal evaporated process developed by Sony coats the tape surface with a uniform layer that results in increased storage capacity. Sony AIT-5 tape storage format has been intelligently designed and manufactured to stand apart. Data searching process in AIT-5 has been speeded up by the employment of memory chip in the cartridge. Sony AIT5 is the only tape cartridge that simultaneously has the feature of pure magnetic layer and cartridge memory chip (MIC) chip. These advantageous features have been engineered by Sony for long durable life and maximum recording capacity. Pure cobalt is used by Sony in manufacturing the SDX5-400W tape media cartridge which results in high retentivity and high output characteristics. Pure magnetic layer is uniformly applied on the tape reel of Sony AIT-5 media to ensure ultra fine tape surface. This whole process is carried out without the help of any binders and adhesives. AME technique has boosted the performance and output characteristics of Sony AIT-5 backup storage format. As the data tape cartridge is inserted into the backup tape drive, the drive reads the operational and directory information that is recorded in the memory chip. This elevates the performance and speeds up the data searching, thus saving time and cost. Sony AIT-5 technology helps the data administrators and IT managers to effectively carryout their job tasks. The AIT-5 media format ensures rapid access that elevates the overall efficiency. Fast media loading time of AIT-5 format helps to minimize the operational costs. The coating layer of SDX5-400C cartridge’s tape reel is very hard that comprises of diamond like carbon (DLC). The DLC coating strengthens the media durability and ensures mechanical stability thus enabling AIT-5 tape it to deliver outstanding data backup results.
