The HP StorageWorks AIT 35 GB tape drive, part number 216886-B21, offers reliable and efficient data storage for businesses requiring up to 35 GB of native capacity or 91 GB of compressed capacity. This tape drive utilises Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) technology, known for its robust performance and long-term data retention capabilities. Designed with a 50-pin SCSI interface, it provides seamless integration into various system configurations, making it suitable for different IT environments reliant on secure data backup and archival solutions.

With a high-speed performance of up to 6 MB/s in compressed mode, the HP StorageWorks AIT drive is ideal for organisations that require fast and dependable data transfer rates. The tape drive's compact design supports effective deployment in server rack environments or standalone workstations, and the inherent durability of AIT media ensures that it can withstand multiple read/write cycles over a prolonged period, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over time.

The tape drive enables optical servo technology and MIC (Memory in Cassette), which enhances data accuracy and allows faster access to specific data sets, making it an appealing feature for businesses prioritising reliability and precision. Additionally, its backward read-compatibility with earlier versions provides a versatile approach to data backup infrastructure.

The HP StorageWorks AIT 35 GB tape drive is a dependable solution for businesses looking to maintain comprehensive data security, long-term storage, and reliable backups.
