Designed for industries where regulatory mandates require immutable archives, the SDX250W//AWW meets stringent data retention and authenticity standards.

Advanced Options :

Equipped with Sony’s exclusive R-MIC (Remote Memory In Cassette) chip, this cartridge significantly accelerates access times by storing essential indexing metadata within the tape itself. The result is faster file location and seamless media management, particularly in automated library systems. This cartridge is fully compatible with AIT-2, AIT-2 Turbo, AIT-3, and AIT-4 drives, delivering flexibility and reliable integration into existing backup infrastructures. The 230-meter tape length and 6MB/s native transfer speed make it suitable for demanding IT environments and archiving workflows
