Fujitsu MJA2 BH, MJA2 CH - New 500GB 2.5″ Hard Drives

Fujitsu today announced that it has developed MJA2 BH and MJA2 CH, two new 500GB 2.5-inch hard drive models that feature a rotational speed of 5,400rpm and “industry-leading levels of energy efficiency”.

The new HDDs are claimed to consume 1.4W of power when recording data, one-third less than previous models. The drives use SATA 2 interface and have 8MB of cache. Average seek times are 12ms (read) and 14ms (write).

In addition, the MJA2 CH provides 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.

The new modes are also halogen-free, which minimizes the hazardous substances generated at disposal.

The 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 2009.
