Fujitsu has announced the global launch of its MHX2300BT series of 2.5-inch hard disk drives, with capacities of 250 and 300 GB. The 2.5-inch form factor is commonly used in notebook computers and other small-footprint computers; the new drives usher in higher storage capacities for those systems. Fujitsu introduced 200 GB 2.5-inch drives less than a year ago; like their predecessors, the new drives use perpendicular storage technology (which essentially store bits stacked “on end” rather than laid out in a row) to increase data density on the disc platters.
