Seagate ships 3 Gbps Momentus 7200.2 notebook HDD
While we were all prepared to wait for Fujitsu's May release of its MHW2 BJ series, Seagate decided to swoop in for the kill with the Momentus 7200.2. It's already shipping this comprable 2.5-inch laptop HDD with a 3 Gbps SATA interface (doubled from 1.5 Gbps in the last version). The new Momentus spins itself silly at 7,200 rpm, sports perpendicular recording technology, and is available in 80GB, 100GB, 120GB, and 160GB capacities. So if you're itching for a bite-size speed demon HDD for your laptop, your wait is over -- unless you're a Fujitsu snob, in which case you'll have to sit tight for a couple more months.
Fujitsu's MHW2 BJ series of disks: the "world's fastest, biggest, and quietest"
God loves the little children and super fast storage devices. That's why she gave us Uncle Al and the new MHW2 BJ series of 2.5-inch hard disk drives from Fujitsu. The new 2.5-inch, SATA 3.0Gbps HDDs max-out at 160GB, a world's biggest to spin at 7,200rpm. Sure, that pales in comparison to Fujitsu's own 300 gigger, but that chubster trundles along at just 4200rpm. These new 2.5-inchers operate at just 25 decibels when idle but suck a biggie 2.3W when throwing around data at up to 300Mbps. So what's it going to be, lickity quick bits or battery friendly capacity? You have until the end of the May to decide 'cause that's when these new speedsters will appear as an option in your high-performance laptops. [Via Impress]
