2.3. Performance Specification
The data capacity, data transfer rate and data reliability specifications this chapter require the media to conform to
the AIT-E Turbo, AIT-1, AIT-1 Turbo, AIT-2, AIT-2 Turbo, AIT-3, AIT-3Ex Media Specification and also require the
drive and media to remain within their respective operating and non-operating environmental specifications. The
specifications below also assume that the C3 ECC frame (AIT-E Turbo, AIT-1, AIT-1 Turbo, AIT-2, AIT-2 Turbo,
AIT-3) or C3 ECC fragment (AIT-3Ex) is generated on writing and used as necessary on reading, and further
assumes that read-after-write rewrites are used as necessary on writing.
2.3.1. Data Capacity
The SDX-800V includes a data compression capability. When data compression is enabled the drive capacity can
increase from 2 times to 3 times. The efficiency of the data compression depends on the actual data that is being
compressed and cannot be predicted precisely prior to compression.
