Fujitsu's new MHV series of 1/8 height 2.5" hard disk drives boasts the industry's highest level of areal density at 10.7Gbit/cm² (69.3Gbit/in²) and a maximum storage capacity of 80GB (40GB per platter). The series is available in a wide range of capacities -- 20, 30, 40, 60, and 80GB -- to suit a variety of needs, ranging from mobile computing devices and in-car systems to digital home electronics applications.

The MHV series employs new GDT (Glass Direct Texture) Media* enabling nearly a 30% increase in areal density of up to 10.7Gbit/cm² (69.3Gbit/in²) and up to 40GB per platter while improving media resolution and noise reduction resulting in improved data integrity.

These drives are recommended for use in portable computers, some MP3 players and some mobile USB storage devices.
