Over 35 years ago, Fujitsu was manufacturing 14-inch hard disk drives for mainframes. Today we're offering you some of the fastest enterprise 3.5-inch hard disk drives in the industry. Because of our technology expertise and heritage, we can provide your customers with high-capacity and reliable storage options for the most demanding of applications.
The Fujitsu 3.5-inch 15K RPM enterprise hard disk drives offer a host of innovations: their 147GB(1) 4-platter configuration means lower power consumption, better reliability, and higher data rates. These hard disk drives dramatically increase speed and capacity and are equipped with 68Pin or 80Pin U320 SCSI interfaces, as well as 2Gbps and 4Gbps Fibre Channel.
Additionally, the Fujitsu hard disk drives are compliant with the RoHS directive. Fujitsu is committed to the elimination of hazardous substances in the manufacturing of its entire hard disk drive product line.
These qualities make them perfect for today's most challenging storage environments. Fujitsu hard disk drive product variations and accelerated performance allow greater flexibility for system designers making rack-optimized or tower servers, disk systems, RAID or digital video systems.
The time is now to deliver versatile, reliable, and robust hard disk drives to your customers for their most demanding storage application needs.
