SDX2-50W

SDX2-50W-Sony AIT-2 (50/130) GB Tapes are advanced data storage cartridges based on the AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) format, specifically the AIT-2 generation. These magnetic, rewritable tapes provide a native capacity of 50 GB and a compressed capacity of up to 130 GB, making them suitable for organizations that require high-density backup and archiving solutions. With a native data transfer rate of up to 6 MB/s (up to 15.6 MB/s compressed), these AIT-2 tapes efficiently support demanding enterprise backup, disaster recovery, and long-term storage applications.

The SDX2-50W tape comes as a standard cartridge with a tape length of 230 meters, offering up to 30 years of archival life for reliable data retention. While AIT-2 tapes do not support WORM (Write Once Read Many) or hardware encryption features, they remain ideal for regular backup, cold storage, and compliance-driven environments. Their robust physical design and compact form factor, along with broad compatibility across Sony AIT-2 drives, make them a preferred choice for data centers, offsite backup locations, and organizations with stringent data preservation requirements.
