200Gig Laptop Harddisk In 2007

How many Gig is your current laptop harddisk? Feel not enough space to store your songs, anime and movies?

Anyway, Fujitsu is planning to sell 2.5-inch hard drives for laptop with a capacity of 200GB in the first half of 2007.

Fujitsu current largest capacity for laptop 2.5-inch harddisk drives is 120Gig. Their going-to-be-launch 200Gig drives, intended for use in notebook PCs, will consist of two disk platters that will store up to 100Gig each, for a total of up to 200Gig.

The higher capacity will be achieved through the use of perpendicular recording technology in the new disks, Fujitsu says.

Perpendicular recording is a method of storing information using magnetic fields to represent each bit. In disks that are commercially available today, the bits, or magnetic fields, lay flat on the disk surface. In drives using perpendicular recording, the bits stand upright. Because they take less space, more bits can be packed on the disk, and so more recording capacity is available.
