The new models will go on sale worldwide from October 2006.

The 160GB SATA product was developed to address customer demand for increased storage capacity, while the 80GB hard disk drive was designed for the consumer electronics (CE) and external USB storage markets. The new HDDs are the RoHS compliant

With up to 160GB capacity and 5400RPM, the new Fujitsu MHW2160BH series is the solution for ultra-fast, high-capacity notebook computers. Developed using PMR technology, the mobile SATA hard disk drives achieve 80GB of storage per platter. These latest additions to the Fujitsu SATA product line feature the same key attributes that have made their predecessors so popular, including high data transfer rates, top reliability, low power consumption and near-silent operation.

In addition to the MHW2 BH series, Fujitsu will simultaneously introduce the MHW2 ATseries aimed at the consumer electronics market. Primarily intended for AV and information appliances, markets that are expected to expand rapidly, this series features low-power consumption and a best-in-class acoustic noise level of 1.5 bels when idle. The series incorporate traditional longitudinal recording technology.

The new Fujitsu MHW2080AT series of hard disk drives are geared toward non-IT applications whose products have a longer life cycle. Featuring up to 80GB capacity in a single platter as well as low power consumption, the cost-efficient mobile HDDs also demonstrate best-in-class reduced acoustic noise. Scheduled to ship next quarter, the MHW2080AT series of hard disk drives are ideal for CE applications such as audio, external USB storage solutions, and other industrial applications.

Fujitsu’s sales target for MHW2 BH series is six million units, and for MHW2 AT series is three million units. Fujitsu ranks third in 2.5″ HDDs for mobile PCs, with 21% of the worldwide market share.
