Regional IT and communications solutions provider Fujitsu Asia has announced the MHZ2 BT series of Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drives (HDDs) for the ASEAN and India markets.

Incorporating a 2.5-inch form factor, the MHZ2 BT series includes two models with storage capacities of 500 gigabytes (GB) and 400 GB. The maximum storage capacity of 500 GB is the highest for any 2.5-inch SATA HDD commercially available today.

Both versions offer a maximum data throughput rate of 3 gigabits per second (Gbps) and a spindle speed of 4,200 revolutions per minute (rpm), for fast read and write times.

The series is announced as part of Fujitsu’s Green Policy Innovation programme to promote energy-efficient IT products and services. Both models consume only 1.8 watts of power when reading or writing data.

“The worldwide demand for high-volume data storage capabilities has increased with the rising popularity of digital broadcasts and online video distribution. Yet, with heightened concerns over global warming and other environmental issues, there is also a growing need for energy-efficient products. Fujitsu has responded to these twin needs with the MHZ2 BT series of HDDs that offer large storage capacities with a reduced ecological footprint,” said Loh Chong Shing, Regional Senior Vice President of Fujitsu Asia.

The MHZ2 BH series of SATA HDDs will be available for the ASEAN (including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam) and India markets beginning May 2008.
