4 Comments
Fujitsu on Tuesday announced its latest lineup of Serial ATA hard drives for notebook computers, which feature perpendicular recording technology. Although the additions come in capacities far below Fujitsu's 300GB monster -- 80GB, 120GB and 160GB -- spindle speed has been bumped to 7200 RPM.
The MHW2160BJ series mobile hard drives also are the first to feature a 3.0Gb/sec SATA interface. "Fujitsu has positioned itself well to capitalize on the growing demand for higher performance 7200RPM laptop hard disk drives that replace the functionality found traditionally on desktop PCs," said Fujitsu vice president Joel Hagberg. The new drives will begin shipping in the second quarter.
