Nuovi hard disk Fujitsu

SAN JOSE, Calif., January 26, 2001 - Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. (FCPA), one of the world's leading suppliers of hard drives and computer peripherals, today introduced its new family of enterprise hard drives designed for optimal performance and product quality in enterprise computing environments. Designed for the most demanding server and workstation applications, the MAN Series, with 10,000 RPM spindle speed, provides an industry-leading maximum internal data transfer rate of speeds up to 84MB/sec. This performance combination, in many applications, outperforms current generation 15,000 RPM drives at a much lower cost and reduced power consumption.

"With the introduction of our new enterprise hard drive family Fujitsu offers its customers a wide variety of capacity points and solid performance," commented Joel Hagberg, Vice President of Product Management, FCPA. "This product introduction reflects Fujitsu's commitment to maintain our industry leading quality and data throughput."

Increased Performance and Consistent Quality Fujitsu's new MAN series consists of three new enterprise hard drives featuring over 18GB per platter and are offered at capacity points of 18.4, 36.7, and 73.5GB. In addition to offering a fast maximum internal data transfer rate of up to 84MB per second, the series will be available with Ultra160, Ultra320 Wide SCSI, and FC-AL2 (2-Gb/s) interfaces, all versions feature a larger, 8 MB, multi-segmented data buffer. In addition to 320MB/s host transfer rates, Ultra320 SCSI boasts new performance enhancing features including, data packet protocol, quick arbitration and selection, and signal pre-compensation, all of which are important new features designed for next generation performance-oriented computing environments. Further, because today's high speed computing processes and bandwidth-hungry applications require faster, more efficient access when reading data, Fujitsu has improved the average seek time on the new enterprise series to 4.5ms.
