To answer the increasing demand for high-volume data storage, Fujitsu Limited has unveiled its new series of MHZ2 BT 2.5-inch hard disk drives with storage capacity of 500 gigabytes.

The company claims MHZ2 BT is also an environmentally friendly product and a power-efficient hard disk drive since it only consumes 1.8 W of power to execute read and write operations. It is intended for use in PCs, set top boxes, digital video recorders (DVR) and external hard drive applications.

Moreover, this high-capacity hard disk drive supports Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s interface to facilitate high-speed data transfer of about 300MB per second without interference or noise.

Sales of the MHZ2 BT 2.5-inch series will start at the end of May 2008. However, the retail price has not yet been disclosed.
