In order to achieve high capacity and high data integrity, AIT uses only Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) tape technology, which provides the exceptional capacity, virtually contamination-free environment, and head/media reliability of AIT products. This unique metal evaporation method, by which pure metal (cobalt) material is vaporized and deposited directly on the base film, results in virtually 100% magnetic material. This tape is smoother and more durable than conventional tape, which contains a painted-on magnetic particle coating with only 50% active magnetic material. The resultant magnetic domains for AME are also much smaller than conventional media and permit a much higher areal recording density and cartridge capacities.

AME's "Diamond-Like Carbon" (DLC) coating provides the extraordinary durability and reliability characteristics that enable leadership achievements in AIT head life (50,000 hours), media uses (30,000) and reduced drive maintenance. In addition, under normal environmental conditions, AME media has a shelf storage life of up to 30 years.
