Fujitsu introduces 2.5-inch, 500GB external hard disk drives (HDDs)

Fujitsu introduced the HandyDrive MMH2 UB series of 5400 RPM external hard disk drives (HDDs), featuring an ultra-slim, lightweight and easy-to-hold 2.5-inch design with up to 500GB capacity. The new drives weigh less than six ounces, include a USB 2.0 interface, offer software support in 11 different languages, and provide both mobile and at-home users a dependable and secure option for data backup.

Every year millions of PCs will experience data loss due to a variety of factors from hardware failure, file corruption, viruses, theft, natural disaster and human error. The Fujitsu HandyDrive MMH2 UB series, which is powered through the USB interface, is available in capacities of 500GB, 400GB, 320GB and 250GB in a portable 2.5-inch design. These capacity points are ideal for backup and supplemental storage for PCs and laptops, and the drives' dimensions (137.5mm x 83.5mm x 15mm) occupy significantly less desk space than alternative 3.5-inch external HDDs.

The advanced utility management creates an ecology-friendly 2.5-inch external HDD by reducing read/write power consumption by 30 percent, compared to earlier models, and by 35 percent in stand-by mode over normal operation.

The Fujitsu HandyDrive bundles utility software allowing users to manage partitions, a password lock tool that protects data if a drive is lost or stolen, even if the HDD is removed from the external enclosure, and Acronis True Image Personal HDD software, which provides fast and easy data backup.
