Fujitsu announces its first 250GB, 5,400rpm SATA hard drive

Fujitsu recently announced a new series of 2.5-inch notebook hard drives, among them an industry first of 250GB running at 5,400 revolutions per minute (rpm). Expected in selected Asean markets by Q4 this year, the new hard drive series is primarily designed for laptops, slim PCs as well as consumer electronics.

The new 250GB hard drive is, however, not the highest capacity 2.5-inch offering from Fujitsu so far. Earlier this year, the Japanese company introduced a 300GB notebook hard drive running at a slower 4,200rpm. That said, the faster spindle speed and large capacity of the new range should appeal to those into gaming, digital video and audio editing. The MHY2xxxBH series, which is based on the perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology, also comes in 200GB, 160GB, 120GB, 100GB, 80GB, 60GB and 40GB flavors.
