Fujitsu today announced as part of a coordinated global launch the MHX2300BT series of mobile hard disk drives featuring impressive storage capacities of 250GB and 300GB.

The MHX2300BT series is the first 2.5" PMR hard disk drives in the industry to attain these high levels of capacity. The new disks will begin shipping in the first quarter of 2007.

Engineered using perpendicular magnetic recording technology, which is essential to achieving the increased capacity per platter, the new small form factor HDDs will address the growing demand for higher capacity storage solutions.

Additional benefits of the Fujitsu second generation PMR products include low power consumption at 1.6W as well as high shock tolerance and near-silent operation.

Last March, Fujitsu launched the world?s first 2.5" Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drive to feature up to 200GB of storage space.
