Fujitsu Ups 2.5″ Drives By 50% to 300 GB |
Today Fujitsu announced the MHX2300BT; the worlds first 2.5 inch, serial ATA 300 GB hard drive. This drive capacity is about 50% more than previously offered and will provide greater space to store information for notebooks, video recorders, flat panel TV’s and similar items in the future.
Just to give you some perspective, if the hard drive based Sony Handycam had this drive, you could record over 70 hours of high quality video, an MP3 player could hold around 75,000 MP3 songs and this drive can hold up to 300,000 compressed 5 megapixel photos.
In the fall of last year Fujitsu offered these small drives amazingly with the 160 GB capacities, and then added another 40 GB to their product offering in May of this year. Another 100 GB will be a big jump and will continue to allow products such as video recorders and players with high definition files to continue to evolve. Fujitsu is also boasting an environmentally friendly design by having extremely low power consumption and a very quiet idle.
The drives are expected to be available in late February of 2007, and will come in a capacity of 250 GB along with the 300 GB version.
