What's so Great about
Fujitsu Hard Drives?

Fujitsu hard drives are made by Fujitsu, a Japanese company with an established base in Tokyo.  It was founded in 1935 and holds the honor of having built Japan's first computer in 1954. Fujitsu has attained superior experience and quality from over 40 years of manufacturing hard disk drives. They specialize in computers and hard drives, especially notebook drives. Fujitsu used to consider IBM to be its international rival in the hard drive department, but IBM sold off its hard drive division to Hitachi in 2002.  Fujitsu's hard drive division is a small and unprofitable part of a large corporation. There’s a rumor floating around that Fujitsu has been talking with Hitachi and Toshiba about combining their hard drive and storage system technology to form a new company dedicated to computer storage. But that’s only business, so let's look at some of Fujitsu's popular hard drives.

Standard Fujitsu Hard Drives

Fast, quiet, inexpensively priced for its outstanding performance, all describe the Fujitsu MHT2040AH 40GB 2.5” notebook hard drive.  Are you accustomed to the speed of  a 4,200 rpm drive? Are you frustrated by the slowness of your laptop drive? You will be thrilled with Fujitsu's perhaps most popular hard drive on the market today. With current technology being such that laptop hard drives are now scoring the 5,400 rpm speeds, comparable to desktop PC's, gamers are now able to access the necessary speeds to pursue their favorite hobbies while on the road. Fujitsu has found the market with their MHT line of  5,400 rpm notebook drives.  They come in 40, 60 and 80 GB storage capacities and this line of disk drives are a universal favorite with gamers and patrons of notebook computers and other small electronic devices. Why? Not only because any of these drives are large enough to hold multimedia files but they are also fast enough to run  them, and it will fit many computers or portable devices. Generally the faster the drive speed the more noise you hear. But they have broken the mold. Fujitsu hard drives use Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motors that reduce the background noise which is especially irksome in the close confines of a notebook. So the Fujitsu MHT notebook hard drives are quieter than slower drives.  With the average price of this 40 GB drive around $160 you will receive a drive of outstanding performance at an excellent price. Are you casting about for a newer and bigger and faster hard drive for your laptop? Look no farther!

Large Capacity Fujitsu Hard Drives

The end of May 2008 will herald the advent of Fujitsu's new MHZ2 BT line of 500 GB 2.5” hard disk drives specially designed for high volume data storage. The down side is that in trade for the incredible amount of data storage you get, this new hard drive only runs a slower 4,200 RPM. In order to squeeze all that capacity into this small drive they ended up with a non-standard 12.5mm height which might not fit some laptops that can only accommodate the 9.5mm standard height.   This new hard drive has been ranked among the most efficient in its class, requiring only 1.8 W of power for most tasks. This hard drive and many other products are part of Fujitsu's Green Policy innovation program seeking  to offer energy conserving products and services. A close sister to this drive is the recently released MHZ2 BH line of hard drives. Being a 2.5” drive featuring a maximum storage capacity of 320 GB, two 160 GB platters which run at the speed of 5,400 RPM, an 8 MB cache and a 1.9 W power usage when working, this new release of Fujitsu's innovative technology is sure to please.

A notebook with a hard disk drive capable of 250 or 300 GB of storage because of perpendicular recording? Really? Yes, that's true. The Fujitsu MHX2300BT drives are the first 2.5” PMR (perpendicular magnetic recording) drives ever to attain such storage capacities. Perpendicular recording places the bits of data on their ends thereby allowing more data to be stored on a disk. And Fujitsu has taken full advantage of the opportunities that this recording technology affords.

So with this in mind, what might be your choice for your notebook hard drive upgrade? Will you choose the MHT drive or are waiting for the new 500 GB drive. Which ever you choose remember that Fujitsu is offering you outstanding data storage technology and incredible reliability. Whenever you hear the term “leader in its class” remember that it accurately describes Fujitsu hard drives.
