The AIT-3Ex format replaces AIT-3 offering upgrades in terms of capacity and speed. Like the AIT Turbo range, AIT-3Ex is another example of Sony improving on it's existing formats.
AIT-3Ex holds an uncompressed capacity of 150GB (up to 390GB compressed) compared to 100GB (260GB compressed) of AIT-3. Read/Write transfer rate is 18MB/s (on AIT-3Ex media) compared to 12MB/s for AIT-3. Buffer size has also been improved to 96MB from AIT-3's 32MB ensuring error free backups.
