The Sony unveils its new and enhanced backup storage tape cartridge DAT160 on 1 April 2008. The Sony DAT160 tape (DGDAT160) has native capacity of 80 GB and compressed capacity of 160 GB. The Sony DAT160 is dual layer cartridge, which has extremely thin layer technology. The DAT 160 tape has increased linear recording density. The Sony backup tape offers excellent reliability and performance. The noise level is low, even in the high frequency band.It has the ability to perform repeated write-read operations.

The new Sony tape is user friendly and easy to navigate. Sony has developed the DAT160 backup band, which is capable of protecting data on the effects of heat. The tape loading and unloading is also stable. Sony also make a variety of tests conducted simulating transport and storage at the stage of selecting the materials and the cartridge so that the cartridges have a sufficient strength againstTemperature fluctuations.

This tape backup ensures stable tape travel, the damage is reduced by the tape reading and writing operations. These backup tapes were tested by dropping them, and still have the original data is completely recovered. The Sony backup tape has more impact resistance by the addition of polycarbonate for the cartridges. The DAT160 resistance is 15 times more than the polystyrene, which is commonly used in the video cassettes.

The band is morestiff and robust, because the ultrasonic welding in the assembly of the tape used. Therefore, the data is safe, even if the tape is damaged from the drop impact. The Sony backup tape is robust against abrasion by a metal guide pin that is used at the end of the magnetic tape. The DAT160 tape can be performed more than 20,000 stable repeated cycles using metal guide column. The recording method that is used for inclusion in the DAT drive is called a "helix-scanning method. Thewhole process of inclusion in DAT drive and the video cassette recorder (VCR) is the same. The DAT tape drive uses 2 heads for the purpose of the letter and the other 2 heads to read the data. An examination of the data collected is done through the heads. In the case where errors in data collection, the data rewritten by the write heads.

The DAT drive has a special software called "recovery software" that will save the file directory. The DDS (DigitalData Storage) was later than the DAT Digital Audio Tape DAT technology called ". The "Digital Audio Tape DAT technology" is considered one of the most productive of all the other backup tape formats.

According to the results of a survey, about six million drives have shipped since the year 2000. The latest addition to the DAT family is the DAT 160 tape drive. The technology of DAT-160 is on the previous DAT technology and is very similar to the technique ofEarlier generations of digital audio tape. The main advantage of DAT technology, which has made it so popular is that they are at a low cost of ownership offers and delivers the best results. The contact angle and speed of the drum, both contribute to the speed of data transmission in digital audio tape (DAT)-charge technology.

The DAT drives of the previous generations had the warp angle of 90 degrees, while, the new DAT-160-drive contact angle of 180 degrees. Therefore, this extended range of 180Statements in the new DAT160 tape drive will help the band and head to improve contact. So, in this way increases the speed of data transfer from DAT-160 drive, and thus enhances the efficiency of the tape drive.
