Fujitsu Ups Laptop Hard Drives to 200GB

By Digital Trends Staff March 27, 2006

Fujitsu Computer Products yesterday delivered what they are calling the computer industry’s first 200GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive targeted towards giving notebook PCs desktop PC performance. This new drive should begin appearing in laptops sometime in the third quarter of this year.

The MHV2200BT 200GB 2.5â€ SATA hard drive, said Fujitsu, builds upon the 160GB hard drive the company previously released to computer manufacturers in August of last year. Features of this drive will include RoHS compliance, a rotational speed of 4200RPM, a hardware accelerator that enables the hard disk drive controller to simultaneously queue and reorder up to 32 instructions and an operating shock of 300G (2ms).

“Fujitsu has focused heavily on R&D to establish itself as the leader in the 2.5″ SATA hard disk drive space,” said Joel Hagberg, vice president, marketing and business development, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, in a statement. “We delivered the industry’s first 2.5″ SATA hard disk drive in January 2004, the 160GB 2.5″ offering slightly less than a year ago and now, with the MHV2200BT, we have again illustrated that we are committed to being a leader in this market.”

This Dell XPS 15 laptop with 32GB of RAM is $745 off right now

Dell XPS 15 9530 front view showing display and keyboard deck.

For the longest time, the top slot of our best laptops collection was filled by a Dell XPS laptop, specifically a Dell XPS 13 or Dell XPS 15. They're a pair of favored laptops from a really favored brand around here and an instant recommend when someone wants a laptop. In fact, you'll still find one of these models on the list today. But new generations are sprouting from the Earth and the Dell XPS 14 and 16 are the new face of the XPS line. What that means for the future of Dell laptops and the Dell XPS line is yet to be seen. What it means for the patient consumer is a different story, however. Now is the time to get deep discounts on what was, until just recently, one of the best laptops around. For example, if you tap the button below, you'll find a Dell XPS 15 that's $745 off, knocking its price down to $2,149 from $2,894. Keep reading for a refresher on why we're so excited about this.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 15
This Dell XPS 15 rocks the same general design that the Dell XPS 15 line has for quite some time, with a solid chassis and responsive keyboard. This version, which has an OLED display is described, in our Dell XPS 15 review, as being a screen that "provides the colors and contrast to please productivity users, creators, and media consumers alike." It should be noted that, in this very same review, the top complaint included price (alleviated by the sale) and a lack of design changes from previous models (not a true negative on well-designed products). All in all, if you haven't had a Dell XPS 15 yet, meaning you aren't itching for a significant upgrade on your existing Dell XPS 15, this is a very solid buy.
