THE POSSIBILITIES ARE INFINITE

MBC2073 SAS

2.5-Inch SAS, 36/73GB, 15K RPM
MBC2036RC - MBC2073RC

"Optimal Combination of Performance, Capacity and Reliability"


The MBC2073 SAS series HDD offering from the Fujitsu stable features up to 73GB of storage capacity in a small form factor. This RoHS compliant HDD series has the lowest idle power consumption amongst the competition in the 2.5-inch 15,000 rpm SAS class. These drives' significantly small form factor as compared to 3.5" drives and lower power consumption per drive reduces system cooling requirements.

Ideal for Mission-Critical Systems and Applications

The MBC2073 SAS series HDD is best suited for use on servers running mission-critical applications residing on database servers, storage arrays, NAS and SAN systems
