Sony AIT2 tape cartridge for backup archives

This Sony SDX250C cartridge uses AIT2 media to store 50GB native or 100GB compressed data. It is built for organisations that run AIT2 tape drives and need reliable offline copies. The single-pack format suits scheduled rotation schemes.

Verify drive compatibility before ordering

Confirm that your tape library or standalone drive explicitly supports AIT2 media. Check the drive firmware is current and that the cleaning schedule is up to date. Ensure the backup software can address AIT2 capacity points.

Single cartridge keeps handling simple

The pack contains one tape so you can add exact quantities to an existing pool. No extra software licences or cables are bundled. The cartridge itself carries the 230M identifier for inventory tracking.

Questions about this item

Does the pack include only the single AIT2 tape cartridge or are cleaning cartridges also supplied?

The pack contains one AIT2 data cartridge rated at 50/100GB; cleaning cartridges are sold separately.

Should I choose the 50GB native or the 100GB compressed capacity for my AIT2 drive?

Use the 50GB native figure for planning; the 100GB figure assumes 2:1 compression which varies with your data type.

What does the 230M length marking on the cartridge mean for actual recording time?

The 230M tape length provides the physical media for the stated 50GB native and 100GB compressed capacities on an AIT2 drive.
