One megabyte (MB) = 1,000,000 bytes; One gigabyte (GB) = 1,000 megabytes; Gigabit (Gb) = 1,000 megabits; RPM = Revolutions Per Minute
With more than 35 years of experience in hard disk drive technology, Fujitsu continues to deliver state-of the-art products for your most demanding enterprise applications. Case in point: our top-of the-line 2.5-inch SAS enterprise hard disk drives.
Enabling point-to-point connections, Fujitsu SAS hard disk drives help enterprises develop new solutions and maintain flexibility. These 2.5-inch HDDs offer up to 73GB(1) of storage and 15K RPM spindle speed — ideal for high-end, mission-critical applications residing on database servers, storage arrays, and NAS and SAN systems.
Seventy percent smaller than conventional 3.5-inch enterprise drives, a greater number of 2.5-inch SAS drives can be installed in the same space, resulting in improved input-output (I/O) performance. Additionally, lower power consumption per drive and smaller form factor reduces system cooling requirements.
The 3Gb/sec SAS interface improves system performance while dramatically reducing the cabling footprint, resulting in better system heat dissipation.
