Fujitsu Brings World's First 300GB 2.5" Hard Disk Drive to Hong Kong

Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) Technology Sets New Benchmark in Enhancing Industry Storage Capacity

Hong Kong, December 18, 2006 — Fujitsu Hong Kong Limited, a leading provider of customer-focused information technology and telecommunications solutions and services, today announced as part of a coordinated global launch the MHX2300BT series of mobile hard disk drives (HDDs). The latest Fujitsu products feature industry-leading storage capacities of 250GB and 300GB, the first 2.5" PMR hard disk drives in the industry to attain these high levels of capacity.

The MHX2300BT series will begin shipping in the first quarter of 2007 and is expected to sell up to 1.5 million units worldwide during fiscal year 2007, which is the period from April 2007 to March 2008.

The launch follows Fujitsu's successful release of the world’s first 2.5" Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drive earlier in March, which features up to 200GB of storage space. In less than a year, Fujitsu has set the standard even higher as it introduces its latest ultra-high capacity mobile hard disk drive series primarily used in multifunctional mobile PCs and digital TVs. Engineered using perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology – essential towards achieving increased capacity per platter - the new small form factor HDDs will commence a new wave of next-generation high-capacity enterprise, mobile and consumer storage solutions, addressing the growing demand for higher-capacity storage solutions.

Additional benefits of the Fujitsu second generation PMR products include best-in-class low power consumption at 1.6W as well as high shock tolerance and near-silent operation. These qualities make the MHX2300BT series highly desirable for audio/video (A/V) applications such as gaming, video editing, audio recording and DVR functionality, as well as for the high-end personal computing market.

"Fujitsu's development of the world’s first 300GB 2.5" hard disk is an example of our focus towards delivering value to our customers through innovation," said Christopher So, General Manager, Sales Section of Volume Product, Fujitsu Hong Kong. "Notebook computers and other devices continue to evolve rapidly in size, design and performance; Fujitsu's successes in storage technology will enable manufacturers to continually develop cutting-edge devices that are relevant to the consumers."
