Fujitsu Launches World’s Largest Capacity External 2.5” Mobile HDD
New HandyDrive from Fujitsu with up to 300GB in one drive: A safe solution for demanding storage environments
Fujitsu Europe Limited announced its new travel-ready HandyDrive
for EMEA, featuring the world’s highest capacity 2.5-inch external hard disk
drive (HDD) with up to 300GB of storage space in one drive. Suitable for the
busy mobile professional looking for a portable, compact-size HDD with
industry-leading capacities, Fujitsu´s HandyDrive is equipped with the necessary
components to enable users to take their data wherever they go. Its new utility
management reduces the drive’s power consumption in stand-by mode by 50% over
normal idle mode. And for extra safety, Fujitsu provides a new password lock
tool option to secure stored data and prevent unauthorized access.
Industry-leading profile
Available in capacities of
120GB, 160GB, 200GB, 250GB, and 300GB, 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 255 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 our special know-how gained through more than
40 years of experience in the hard disk drive industry, Fujitsu is committed to
provide the ideal solutions for the expanding mobile marketplace and users
looking for portable HDD devices with higher capacities, compact designs, and
advanced data security features,” said Georg Dietsch, Director of Fujitsu
Storage Products Group in EMEA.
