Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) functionality is incorporated into selected models of standard AIT-2 and AIT-3 drives. When used with specially-marked and encoded AIT WORM media, these AIT-2 and AIT-3 drives allow for non-rewritable, non-erasable electronic data storage, in addition to their full support of rewritable media.
Once recorded, AIT WORM media cannot be re-written or re-formatted, but data can be appended. With the added WORM capabilities, AIT drives, along with WORM media, will reduce the incidence of accidental or intentional erasure of data, enable time and date authentication, and facilitate quick search and retrieval of archived files for a variety of organizations and reasons.
Note that not all versions of the AIT-2 and AIT-3 drives contain the necessary firmware to provide the WORM capability. In addition, specific types of application software are required to be able to use the AIT WORM capability as a complete customer solution. Please check with your AIT solutions provider regarding the availability of AIT WORM support.
