Manufacturer's product description
One space-saving AIT-4 cartridge holds up to 200GB native, 520GB compressed, and offers a fast data transfer rate of 24MB/s (native). Sony's drive technology and AME tape technology come together in the AIT format to deliver a remarkable combination of high reliability and high recording density. Since Sony introduced the format in 1996, AIT has gained a reputation for high reliability and high capacity in a space-saving form factor. In the AIT format Sony has applied advanced technologies refined and proven over many years. Thanks to Sony's technological expertise, AIT achieves extraordinary data densities in a small 8mm cartridge. It's a space-saving solution that's much more compact than other formats of equivalent capacity. Building on AIT's established technology, Sony raises data density even further in AIT-4 to achieve compressed capacity of 520GB. AIT-4 media's smooth surface improves electromagnetic conversion characteristics, while a newly developed lubricant reduces friction. An enhanced protective coating minimizes wear on heads and the tape itself. WORM (write-once read-many) allows data to be written and added but not overwritten or erased. This protects valuable data against accidental erasure and prevents alteration of archived data files. Sony SDX4-200C features non-contact R-MIC (Remote Memory In Cassette) chip technology. This internal memory can simplify media management and accelerate access in library environments, compared to conventional bar-code methods.

Out of the box it looks pretty much like any other Serial ATA drives, although you can tell it is a Maxtor drive (and not just because of the huge label with Maxtor written on it either). Here are the drives full specifications from Maxtor:

Advantages: very fast, stable, read and wirte speeds Disadvantages: not very many, low end of the market
...hard drive. I wanted a second one to do image editing on and some audio editing. I usually work with large video files, like movies for my studio, and also so that I could record TV with my TV card.
This was by far the cheapest hard drive to buy, for the space reasons, and also by the fact that it was the fastest for the amount of money that I paid for it. Many people ask me what the hell I want with 200GB, but I tell them, I’m claustrophobic; I don’t like small/crowded space.
▼Little more information on Memory and space▼
Back in the 1960s and 70s, a megabyte of space on any component of computer was unheard of. Most computers only had a couple hundred bytes of space at most. But now in the 21st century, a single document takes up more space than that. This is why they have prefixes to all the space on our computer hard...

Advantages: Very capacious, Good qaulity, Good value for money Disadvantages: Not supported properly by most operating systems
...I wanted to buy a Hard Drive that I could trust all my files with. I have had an External Maxtor Hard Drive for a while and I can admit it's taken some abuse, but it still works fine! So I decided to go for Maxtor's 200Gb drive, the DiamondMax Plus 9.
I baught the OEM version, it was extremely good value for money, I got it for around £90! But the OEM version comes with no software and little did I realise that such a big drive needed to be specially activated first.
I must have spent half an hour tinkering with it un til I took a trip to Maxtor's website and found some software that would set it up for me. And the software worked a treat, except for 1 snag. My ATA drivers couldn't support 200GB and the drive had to be formated to 130GB instead, thats 70GB of valuable space down the pan!! And I am using Windows XP Pro which is one...

For a while now I have been receiving private mails on both Dooyoo and on Ciao asking me to review the Sony A200 DSLR camera, this is because I have made mention of it in a few of my camera reviews lately but never actually got down to doing a full write more
