Improved air flow improve cooling while reducing dust contamination

Super Air Flow Environment (SAFE) on all Sony DDS-4 drives provides improved cooling of the tape and drive mechanism while reducing dust contamination. Special vents draw cooling air around the tape and drive mechanism, reducing drive temperatures while keeping dust particles from penetrating the drive itself.
