Fujitsu plans a 320GB laptop drive with 7,200 RPMs
By
Fujitsu plans to begin selling in late June a new range of high-performance hard-disk drives for laptop PCs that offer more storage space than current models. The “MHZ2 BJ” series of drives have disks that spin at 7,200rpm (revolutions per minute) — faster than the 5,400rpm common on most similar drives — and will be available in capacities up to 320GB, the Tokyo company said Monday.
The drives consume 2.3 watts for read/write operations over a SATA (Serial ATA) interface, which is comparable with current drives. Fujitsu hopes to sell 2 million of the MHZ2 BJ-series drives by the end of March 2009. They will be available worldwide.
