       Sony AIT-3Ex tape drives deliver up to 150GB native in a compact, 
        8mm data cartridge. 
       Sony AIT tape drives incorporate a redesigned head geometry, 
        reducing head/tape pressure and delivering up to 50,000 hours of 
        head life and an industry leading MTBF rating of 400,000 POH (100% 
        duty cycle).
       AIT drives offer high capacity in an extremely compact 3.5-inch form 
        factor. With a compact size a fraction of the size of other high 
        capacity tape drive formats, AIT drives are easy to integrate into 
        desktop workstations, servers, and automated tape libraries.

  compression with ALDC) in a compact 3.5-inch form factor. 
* Sony AIT-3Ex tape drives offer high data transfer rates of 18.0 MB/s 
  native for today's demanding data storage environments. 
* Sony AIT-3Ex tape drives are backward compatible, protecting your 
  investment in the valuable data you already have stored on previous 
  generation AIT data cartridges, while delivering the increased capacity 
  and performance of AIT-3Ex technology. 
* Sony AIT tape drives incorporate a redesigned head geometry, reducing 
  head/tape pressure and delivering up to 50,000 hours of head life. The
