Sony AIT Tape Drive Specifications
This section includes details on Sony AIT drives. For more information, consult the
user manual for the drives installed in your library.
Parameter Specification
Ambient operating temperature
a
a. The upper limit applies to the drives themselves. The temperature limits for the Spectra 10000 are given in Media and
Hardware Environment on page 26. Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the library at all times.
41°F to 104°F (5°C to 40°C)
Storage temperature -41°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C)
Operating humidity 20% to 80% non-condensing
MTBF 300,000 POH (100% duty cycle)
Average access time < 55 seconds
Uncorrectable error rate < 1 x 10
-17
bits
Sustained transfer rate
b, c
b. This is a per-drive value. Total sustained transfer rate for the library depends on the number of drives installed in the library.
c. The sustained transfer rate per drive can increase by an average of 2.6 times the specified value with compression.
Compression thoughput and capacity depends on the type of data.
6 MB/sec native
Burst transfer rate
d
d. The actual burst data transfer rate is limited by the performance of the SCSI host bus adapter, the SCSI bus interface
controller, and the drive’s buffer control hardware.
40 MB/sec synchronous maximum
