Fujitsu 250GB Laptop Drive
Fujitsu today began shipping the MHY2BH, the highest-capacity 5400RPM drive yet available for notebooks at 250GB. The drive is quiet at 24 decibels when idle, and is also miserly by consuming no more than 1.9W of power at peak activity. Unlike the slower 300GB drive, the blend of capacity and effectiveness doesn't come at the price of size, according to Fujitsu: where the earlier drive is 12.5mm tall and meant for desktop replacements, the MHY2BH is only 9.5mm high and capable of fitting into thin-and-light notebooks.
Pricing hasn't been announced for the drive, which should be available worldwide in the next few weeks through shipping notebooks as well as resellers. The hard disk is joined by several other models ranging between 40GB and 200GB in size.
