Fujitsu introduces 2.5-in hard disk drives offering perpendicular magnetic recording
Fujitsu Canada Inc. announced two additions to its mobile hard disk drive (HDD) family: the MHW2160BH series, a 160GB, 2.5-in. Serial ATA (SATA) model featuring perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology and the MHW2080AT series, an up to 80GB Parallel ATA (PATA) hard disk drive. The 160GB SATA product was developed to address customer demand for increased storage capacity, while the 80GB hard disk drive was designed for the consumer electronics (CE) and external USB storage markets.
With up to 160GB capacity and 5400RPM, the new Fujitsu MHW2160BH series is designed for fast, high-capacity notebook computers. Developed using PMR technology, the mobile SATA hard disk drives achieve 80GB of storage per platter. The MHV2160BH hard disk drives will begin shipping by the fourth quarter of this year.
The Fujitsu MHW2080AT series of hard disk drives are geared toward non-IT applications whose products have a longer life cycle. Featuring up to 80GB capacity in a single platter as well as low power consumption, the mobile HDDs also demonstrate reduced acoustic noise, according to Fujitsu. Scheduled to ship next quarter, the MHW2080AT series of hard disk drives are ideal for CE applications such as audio, external USB storage solutions and other industrial applications.
