Fujitsu Enlarges Its 2.5'' HandyDrive Line-up with a 500GB Version
Fujitsu announced they've enlarged the storage capacity of their 2.5" HandyDrive portable HDD line to 500GB. This world’s highest capacity 2.5" external HDD should be available at the end of this month for around 229€.
Also available in 160/250/320/400GB versions.
London, 11 July 2008 — Fujitsu Europe Limited today announced its newest travel-ready portable HandyDrive additions, featuring the world’s highest capacity 2.5-inch external hard disk drive (HDD) with up to 500GB* of storage space in one drive. Suitable for the busy mobile professional looking for a compact-size external HDD with industry-leading capacities, Fujitsu HandyDrives are equipped with the necessary components for safe and easy data transports. Its utility management reduces the drive’s power consumption in stand-by mode by 35% over normal idle mode. And for extra security, Fujitsu provides a new password lock tool option to secure stored data and prevent unauthorized access.
Industry-leading profile
Available in capacities of 160GB*, 250GB*, 320GB*, 400GB*, 500GB*, the new Fujitsu HandyDrive is an ideal solution for storing work files, multimedia applications, photos, videos, MP3s, temporary data backup, data exchange, data transport, and security solutions. The easy-to-carry HandyDrive has a maximum data transfer rate of 60MB per second, comes with an 8MB** read/write buffer, weighs less than 220 grams, with a robust housing of just (D) 142 x (W) 82 x (H) 22 mm in size. Its distinctive internal shock-endurance mechanism helps to reduce the effect of impact and lends increased data protection.
Bus-powered USB 2.0 interface
The HandyDrive´s integrated, bus-powered USB 2.0 interface freely permits the drive’s connection and disconnection during computer operations. A notebook PC can lend the device the necessary power without external resources required. Primarily for mobile use, Fujitsu´s new external HandyDrive can be utilized as an ideal storage extension for desktop PCs.
“With this 4th generation of external drives and our company’s special know-how gained through more than 40 years experience in hard disk drive design and manufacturing, Fujitsu is committed to provide ideal solutions for the expanding mobile storage market and users looking for portable HDD devices with higher capacities, compact designs, and advanced data security features,” emphasises Georg Dietsch, Director of Fujitsu Storage Products Group in EMEA.
