Fujitsu MJA2 Series 2.5″ 500GB HDD with AES 256-bit encryption
After a long time Fujitsu is back with two new hard disk drives. The MJA2 series includes two models MJA2 BH and MJA2 CH, and comes with industry-leading levels of energy efficiency, consuming only 1.4W of power (a reduction of 33% in power consumption compared to previous models). Moreover, its Fujitsu’s first halogen-free HDD series, making it environment friendly. In addition, to meet information security needs for high data storage capacity applications, the MJA2 CH series is the world’s first 500 GB HDD line equipped with 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.
To prevent data leaks for customers handling sensitive information, the MJA2 CH model has a built-in encryption function. This model automatically encrypts data as it is recorded, and all data stored on the HDD can be erased instantly, in less than a second, using the advanced secure erase feature. These features prevent data leaks in the event a PC is lost or stolen and make it simple to erase data during disposal, thereby reducing customers’ total cost of ownership.
The MJA2 BH series will be available from the end of December 2008, and the MJA2 CH series will be available in the first quarter of the 2009 calendar year.
