That's small, fast and capacious, but what about quiet? Fujitsu claims the drive is unusually quiet - "2.5 bels [25dB] at idle" - despite the high rotational speed. Notebooks typically use 5400rpm drives. As a bonus, the power consumption is low, just 2.3W when reading or writing data. As you'd expect from a product aimed at a worldwide market, the drives comply with the European Union's Reduction of Hazardous Substances directive. These characteristics make the new drive very suitable for high-performance and 'media' notebooks. But they are also likely to turn up in all-in-one LCD desktop models, a form factor made popular by Apple's iMac. {moscomment} |
