DIR

If you need some serious data storage capability, the DIR-1000 ID-1 Digital Instrumentation Recorder definitely fits the bill. This 19mm helical scan digital tape recorder conforms to the ANSI X3.175-1990 ID-1 specification, which records and reproduces at 1.3, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 Megabytes/sec. The ID-1 format utilizes azimuth recording techniques, which minimizes the effects of mis-tracking and insures greater cross-play among all ID-1 type units.

A new addition to the Sony DIR family of digital instrumentation recorders, the DIR240 12 mm Helical Scan Instrumentation Recorder is a half-inch compact model featuring high-capacity recording (250 Gigabytes/cassette) and a high data transfer rate (up to 240 Megabits/sec). And, with the future in mind, the DIR-240 can be mounted in PetaSite -- the DMS8400 Series tape robotic libraries -- to build enormous data storage systems. These systems can provide capacities of up to 14 PB -- huge enough to match any likely system requirements for today and tomorrow.
