Sony LTO Ultrium 3 media is the next generation of LTO that doubles the capacity to 400GB native (800GB compressed) and doubles the transfer rate to 80MB/second native (160MB/second compressed). Sony's proprietary Advanced Alloy Armored Metal Particle (A3MP) technology provides high-output characteristics while also maintaining a high resistance to environmental conditions. Sony also developed highly accurate servo signal technology that improves data writing and reading accuracy. Super orientation technology orients the metal particles in the same direction to minimize noise interference.
