Overview

The Sony SDX-450V and SDX-250V drives are high capacity data storage

devices using Advanced Intelligent tape (AIT) technology. The SDX-450V

and SDX-250V drives achieve high data reliability through Read-After-

Write, an additional level of Error Correction Code, and other features.

The Sony SDX-450V and SDX-250V drives store data on tape using

standard formats called AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) and ALDC

formats.

Introduction

About AIT Drives

The SDX-450V is an internal AIT drive unit that uses data cartridges

conforming to the AIT-1 Turbo format. The SDX-250V is an internal AIT

drive unit that uses data cartridges conforming to the AIT-E Turbo format.

The SDX-450V supports AIT-E Turbo, AIT-1 Turbo and AIT-1 formats.

The SDX-250V supports only AIT-E Turbo format.

Features

The AIT Drive Unit SDX-450V has the following features:

•Supports reading and writing to data cartridges conforming to the AIT-E

Turbo, AIT-1 Turbo and AIT-1 formats.

• The third-level error correction code guarantee high data reliability.

•Data compression provides 104 gigabytes of storage on 186 m tape-

length AIT-1 Turbo data cartridge.*1

The native capacity is 40 gigabytes of storage on 186 m tape-length

AIT-1 Turbo data cartridge.

•Stored data are automatically checked for compression.

•Wide Ultra SCSI LVD/SE interface is fully supported for host computer

access.

The AIT Drive Unit SDX-250V has the following features:

•Supports reading and writing to data cartridges conforming to the AIT-E

Turbo format.

• The third-level error correction code guarantee high data reliability.

•Data compression provides 52 gigabytes of storage on 98 m tape-length

AIT-E Turbo data cartridge.*1

The native capacity is 20 gigabytes of storage on 98 m tape-length AIT-E

Turbo data cartridge.

•Stored data are automatically checked for compression.

•Wide Ultra SCSI LVD/SE interface is fully supported for host computer

access.

*1 This is assuming 2.6 : 1 compression ratio.

The degree of data compression attained while recording data varies according to

system environment and data type.

Precautions

Installation

Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:

–high humidity

–high temperature

– mechanical shock and vibration

–direct sunlight

*For details, see “Specifications” on page 29.

Operation

•Do not move the drive while it is operating. It may cause malfunction.

• Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes from a low to high

temperatures. This may cause water condensation to collect inside the

drive. If the ambient temperature should suddenly rise while the drive is

turned on, wait at least one hour before turning on the drive. If you

attempt to operate the drive immediately after a sudden increase in

temperature, a malfunction may occur.

•Turning off the power to the drive while they are writing to tape may

cause the tape to become unreadable. All previously negotiated

parameters will be lost, whenever power to the drive is cycled.

Transportation

•Keep the original packing materials to facilitate safe transportation of the

drive.

•Always remove the tape/media cartridge before moving the drive. After

removing the drive from the computer, repack the drive into its original

packing.

Useable Cartridges

The SDX-450V can be used with data cartridges marked with the AIT-E

Turbo, AIT-1 Turbo or AIT-1 logo.

The SDX-250V can be used with data cartridges marked with the AIT-E

Turbo logo.

Note

•Be sure to use only the cartridges designed specifically for AIT.

•Do not use anything but AIT cartridges with this system, as doing so can

damage the AIT drive. Although commercially available 8mm videotapes

resemble AIT cartridges in appearance, they have entirely different

specifications and cannot be used.

SCSI Termination

The SDX-450V and SDX-250V conform to the Microsoft PC97 standard,

which requires the internal (naked) drive to be terminated with an external

terminator.

Microsoft PC97 SCSI requirements

SCSI peripherals must not terminate the bus. Both internal and external

cable ends are instead terminated by plug-in connectors.
