HP AIT-2 50/130GB Tape Cartridge-Advance Metal Evaporated (AME)

Part No: Q1998A

HP AIT drives and media employ a helical scan recording technique in which data tracks are written at an angle with respect to the edge of the tape. This technique requires fewer passes over the drive heads to fill the tape. HP AIT data cartridges contain an Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) recording layer. AME technology enables a high recording density, improved signal-to-noise ratio and significantly lower tape tension to improve the longevity of the media. MIC (Memory in Cassette) is a 64k memory chip which is embedded in all HP AIT data cartridges. It recommend fast load and unload times and access to data in less than 27 seconds - from anywhere on the tape. The HP AIT-2 Tape Cartridge is second generation of Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) technology that is high speed, high capacity, and better data preservation magnetic media format.

With the introduction of AME technology, AIT media has been able to make the capacity jumps to enter into the mid-range and automation space. AIT-1 introduced as a migration path for DDS users to reach higher capacities and performance. Despite its increased capacities, AIT does not offer the interchangeability that other tape technologies do and can be construed as proprietary and cannot compete against the open standard technologies (Metal Particle or MP based). For example: While AIT and Mammoth share similar technologies and design, they are not compatible and should be considered proprietary. Mammoth drives will not work with AIT media and visa-versa. Drive firmware and software prevent this.
