Fujitsu Asia announced the MHW2BK series of Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drives (HDDs).
Engineered primarily for blade server, industrial, robotic, surveillance and telecommunications operations, the MHW2BK series of HDDs has been designed with a spindle speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (rpm) and a maximum data rate of 3 gigabits per second (Gb/s).
The product line also incorporates features to minimize the adverse effects of rotational vibration (such as read or write failures) which may occur when multiple drives are mounted on a single chassis and rotated at high speeds, for increased operational stability.
The MHW2BK series includes three models with storage capacities of 60 gigabytes (GB), 80 GB and 120 GB. The models also possess attributes found in earlier SATA HDDs by Fujitsu Asia, such as low power consumption and high shock tolerance.
