AIT Tape Recovery
The AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) developed by Sony in 1996 uses the Helical scan recording method on an 8mm wide recording tape media for reading and writing data and a MIC (Memory in Cassette) memory chip to store recording information about the tape.
The AIT tape was originally released with a storage capacity of 25GB native and progressed over the years to its fifth generation with storage capacity at 400GB. A higher capacity variant the S-AIT (Super-AIT) was released at a starting storage capacity of 800GB.
Over the years DiskEng AIT tape data recovery specialists have seen numerous problems from media flaws to corrupt AIT tape media. We have even recovered data from initialized AIT tapes. |
