Overview

As a point-to-point connection, Fujitsu SAS hard disk drives help enterprises develop new solutions and maintain flexibility. The RoHS compliant, 2.5-inch hard disk drives offer up to 73.5GB of storage and 10K RPM - a perfect combination for high-end, mission-critical applications residing on database servers, storage arrays, and NAS and SAN systems.

With the 2.5-inch form factor, a greater number of SAS drives can be installed in the space previously occupied by conventional 3.5-inch enterprise hard disk drives, resulting in improved input-output (IO) performance. Additionally, lower power consumption helps systems maintain reduced heat levels. The drives are also hot pluggable, so they can be inserted or removed without harming the data or the system while the entire system is still powered on.

The 3Gb SAS interface of the Fujitsu hard disk drives allows customers to take advantage of the increased performance associated with serial attached SCSI, while providing lower heat dissipation and lower acoustics.

State-of-the-art hard disk drives for your most demanding enterprise applications

• 2.5-inch RoHS compliant Enterprise Hard Disk Drives offer 10K RPM spindle speed and feature storage capacities up to 73 GB
• Mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) of 1,400,000 power-on hours
• The industry's first 2.5-inch small form factor Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface
• Native Command Queuing (NCQ), providing faster execution of operation commands
• Uses smaller connectors and cables than U320, a benefit acknowledged by the SCSI Trade Association (STA)

Drive Features

• Small Form Factor HDD: The adoption of 2.5" form factor to enterprise HDD, the required space is reduced up to 73% in comparison with previous 3.5" form factor enterprise HDD. This enables the installation of more number of HDDs into same area space.
• High Performance: It is possible to install more number of HDD in comparison with 3.5" HDD in same space, IO performance (*1) is improved under the system configuration.
• High Speed Interface: Serial Attached SCSI which is the New serial interface enables the High Speed Interface capability up to 3Gbits per second.
• Low Power Consumption: Power consumption requirement has reduced to 4.5 Watts (Idle). It achieves up to 53% lower power consumption in comparison with 3.5" HDD. (The comparison with Fujitsu products)
• Improvement for Shock Tolerance: FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) spindle motor (*2) and Head Load/Unload mechanism (*3) enable in high shock torelance. The drives withstand up to 400Go-p (duration 1ms) non-operating shock and up to 100Go-p (duration 1ms) operating shock.
• RoHS Compliance (MAY series only): This HDD is designed to meet the requirements of the European Union's RoHS directive.
