  1. SAIT A New Tape Technology to Meet Tomorrows Storage Demands

  2. Beyond AIT – A New Platform • A “Paradigm Shift” in tape drive design is needed to achieve 1TB by 2006 • Needed to maintain parity with HDD trends • Solution…Leverage AIT Recording Density • If media were longer and wider (eg. 1/2” at 600m) then about 5X capacity could be achievable at constant areal density

  3. Conventional tape trend Low-End Mid-Range Server HDD Capacity Growth

  4. Introducing... SAIT

  5. SAIT exceeds HDD capacity Conventional tape trend Low-End Mid-Range Server HDD Capacity Growth

  6. 81.55 mm 146.0 mm 300 mm Built to Industry Standards • Offering easy integration into current automation solutions based on ½-inch technology SAIT LTO S-DLT 5.25“ FH

  7. SAIT 500GB Same Areal Density as AIT… Same Technology as AIT… 5 Times The Tape Area ! How Is 500GB Possible? AIT-3 100GB 8mm x 230m S-DLT 300GB LTO 200GB ½ inch x 600m

  8. Dual Mode Tape Wrap • Drum Wrap • Write/Read • Low-Speed Search • No Drum Wrap • Fast Forward & Rewind • High-Speed Search w/MIC • Minimal Tape Friction

  9. Head Placement SAIT-1 : 16ch Drum Structure Drum Assembly (Cross section) Drum Assembly
