AIT stands for Advanced Intelligent Tape, and was developed by Sony for the purpose of efficiently and reliably storing large amounts of data. AIT drives use a special 8mm tape, some of which have a built in memory chip called the MIC. The MIC chip is capable of storing information specific to that piece of media and in certain situations, it will improve data access and reliability. AIT drives provide large capacities and very fast data transfers by using a 68-pin Fast/Wide SCSI-2 interface.
