Fujitsu


No, this isn’t just a hard drive turned on its side, it’s a new technology called perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR). This new technology allows for higher data storage density on the drive by stacking the storage “bits” vertically and more densely.  The new MHW2 line using PMR achieves up to 160GB in capacity in a compact 2.5” form factor. 

Perpendicular storage isn’t the only update to these drives.  Engineers also incorporated new anti-shock and power saving technologies allowing the device to withstand up to 300g’s of mechanical shock and energy efficiency as good as 3.8milliWatts/GB, both of which are industry best according to Fujitsu.  The 80GB and 160GB versions of the drive will be available October of this year.

Comments:

160gb for a 2.5” laptop drive is large. Just think of the surface area difference between 3.5” and 2.5”

~4.9sqin on a 2.5” drive
~7.1sqin on a 3.5” drive

Also, you have to take into account that they want to keep the platter count down on mobile drives so that it doesn’t take so much power to spin them.
