Fujitsu has developed two new 500 GB 2.5″ hard disk drive models (MJA2 BH/ MJA2 CH) that feature a rotational speed of 5,400 RPM and deliver industry-leading levels of energy efficiency. The new Fujitsu models consume only 1.4W of power when recording data, one-third less than previous models. In addition, to meet information security needs for high data storage capacity applications, the Fujitsu MJA2 CH series is the world’s first 500 GB HDD line equipped with 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard encryption. The MJA2 CH model automatically encrypts data as it is recorded, and all data stored on the HDD can be erased instantly, in less than a second, using the advanced secure erase feature. These features prevent data leaks in the event a PC is lost or stolen and make it simple to erase data during disposal, thereby reducing customers’ total cost of ownership.
The new models are Fujitsu’s first halogen-free HDD models, making them environmentally friendly products across their lifecycle, from deployment to disposal. To meet information security needs for high data storage capacity applications, the MJA2 CH series is the world’s first 500 GB HDD line equipped with 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard encryption. The Fujitsu MJA2 BH series will be available from the end of December 2008, and the MJA2 CH series will be available in the first quarter of the 2009 calendar year
