Fujitsu intros 200GB S-ATA notebook drive

JAPANESE HDD giant Fujitsu said it will start shipping a 200GB 2.5-inch serial drive in the third quarter of this year.

It claims that the introduction of the drive will give desktop equivalent performance. The stunningly named MHV2200BT includes a hardware accelerator to improve native command queuing performance. That allows the HDD drive controller to simultaneously queue and re-order 32 instructions, improving the performance.

The drive takes 1.6W consumption, has a track to track seek time of 1.5ms, and a host transfer rate of a maximum 150MB/s. No details of pricing are yet available. µ
