Fujitsu Unveils MHZ2 BH Series of 2.5-inch SATA Hard Disk Drives for Indonesia


Jakarta, December 28, 2007 — Leading Information Technology and Communications solutions provider PT. Fujitsu Indonesia today announced the MHZ2 BH series of Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drives (HDDs) for Indonesia market.

Incorporating a 2.5-inch form factor, the MHZ2 BH series is available in seven models with storage capacities ranging from 40 gigabytes (GB)* to 320 GB. The maximum storage capacity of 320GB is the highest for any 2.5-inch SATA HDD commercially available today. All seven versions are designed with a spindle speed of 5,400 revolutions per minute (rpm) and a maximum data throughput rate of 3 gigabits per second (Gbps).

The high storage capacities are realised via perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology. Unlike conventional longitudinal magnetic recording techniques, in which information is stored parallel to the surface of a HDD, PMR technology aligns magnetic charges perpendicular to the disk surface. This allows a HDD to store data using smaller bit sizes, for higher storage densities and capacities.

The compact form factor, high storage capacities and throughput rates as well as fast spindle speed make the series suitable for use in products such as:

  • Desktop and notebook PCs
  • HDD-based digital audio and video recorders
  • Other consumer electronics products

In addition, the MHZ2 BH models consume up to 2.1 watts of power when reading or writing data – making them the most energy-efficient SATA HDDs commercially available today. The series also possess attributes found in earlier SATA HDDs by Fujitsu, such as:

  • Large buffer sizes
  • High shock tolerance
  • Near-silent operation

"Due to higher levels of desktop and notebook PC performance and expanding use of the Internet, demand has been increasing in recent years for HDDs that can accommodate heavier volumes of data, such as video and audio data," said Mr Loh Chong Shing, Regional Senior Vice President of Fujitsu Asia. "Moreover, customers are seeking greater energy efficiency, including limits to the amount of heat generated and reduced power consumption. Fujitsu developed the high-capacity MHZ2 BH series to meet these needs," he added.

The MHZ2 BH series of SATA HDDs will be available for Indonesia market beginning Q1 2008. Refer to http://sg.fujitsu.com or email marketing@id.fujitsu.com or call (021) 570 9330 for more details.

* 1GB is equivalent to 1 billion bytes, or 1,000,000,000 bytes. Usable storage capacity is actually less than this figure. Actual storage capacity may vary depending on the environment and formatting of the customer's system.
