Fujitsu has announced the launch of its new 2.5-inch MBD2-RC and MBE2-RC series of 10K and 15K RPM 6 GB/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enterprise hard disk drives. The new drives use perpendicular magnetic recording, which results in twice the storage capacity of the previous generation product and also a reduction in power consumption. According to Fujitsu, “The new series of enterprise-class HDDs boast best-in-class power consumption and are the first enterprise drives from Fujitsu to be halogen-free.“ The new drives also offer a 60-percent increase in maximum internal transfer rate and use a fast 6 Gb/s SAS interface.

Anything we can do to improve the efficiency and performance of the hard drives in the servers has to be a good thing, particularly if we are looking at large deployments, where a few watt saved might be a significant amount of power to overall data center power utilization.
