Sony AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) format is intelligently engineered to stand apart - no other tape cartridge features both an MIC chip (the brains) and a pure metal magnetic layer designed for maximum capacity and longevity (the brawn). 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. The tape surface is protected by a smooth carbon coating that is nearly as hard as diamond and 20 times harder than metal oxides. The benefit is maximum reliability and life. Previous metal evaporated tapes used a cobalt-nickel alloy, but now Sony delivers 100% pure cobalt for high retentivity. Above the magnetic layer are the tough DLC protective film and a high-performance lubricant coating. Fine pigment backing and optimized front surface smoothness are augmented by an advanced back coating to stabilize tape guide friction and maximize durability. All tapes are brand new, factroy sealed. We will meet or beat any advertised price!
