Conventions for Alert Messages

This manual uses the following conventions to show the alert messages. An alert message consists of an alert signal and alert statements. The alert signal consists of an alert symbol and a signal word or just a signal word.

The following are the alert signals and their meanings:

This indicates a hazardous situation could result in minor or moderate personal injury if the user does not perform the procedure correctly. This alert signal also indicates that damages to the product or other property may occur if the user does not perform the procedure correctly.

This indicates information that could help the user use the product more efficiently.

In the text, the alert signal is centered, followed below by the indented message. A wider line space precedes and follows the alert message to show where the alert message begins and ends. The following is an example:

(Example)

Data corruption: Avoid mounting the disk drive near strong magnetic sources such as loud speakers. Ensure that the disk drive is not affected by external magnetic fields.

The main alert messages in the text are also listed in the “Important Alert Items.”

Operating Environment

This product is designed to be used in offices or computer rooms.

Conventions

MHV2060AS, MHV2080AS, MHV2040AS specifications

Fujitsu's MHV series of hard disk drives, specifically the MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, and MHV2060AS models, are designed to deliver efficient performance and reliability for a range of applications, particularly in desktop computing and entry-level servers. Each of these drives adheres to the Serial ATA (SATA) interface, which ensures compatibility across a wide range of systems and is known for its cost-effectiveness and simplicity.

The MHV2040AS features a storage capacity of 40GB, making it suitable for basic computing tasks including document editing, web browsing, and media playback. The MHV2060AS steps it up with a 60GB capacity, allowing for increased data storage needs while still maintaining a high level of performance. The largest of the trio, the MHV2080AS, offers an impressive 80GB of space, positioning it well for users who require additional room for applications, games, and multimedia files.

All drives in this series are equipped with a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, which strikes a balance between speed and power consumption. This speed is adequate for everyday tasks and allows for quick boot times and file access, making them ideal for home and small office environments. Additionally, the drives feature an average latency of 5.5 milliseconds, contributing to their overall performance in retrieving data.

In terms of technology, the MHV series employs a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motor, which not only enhances reliability but also reduces noise levels during operation. The FDB technology helps improve the longevity of the drives by minimizing wear on mechanical components. This characteristic is particularly important for users seeking quieter drives, especially in work environments that require minimal disruption.

The drives also incorporate advanced power management features that significantly reduce power consumption, making them an environmentally friendly choice for users mindful of their carbon footprint. These drives are equipped with energy-saving modes that optimize their performance when not in full use, ensuring lower operational costs and longer lifespan.

Overall, the Fujitsu MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, and MHV2060AS hard drives provide a solid solution for users looking for dependable storage with a range of capacities to fit their needs. Their performance, combined with noise reduction technologies and energy efficiency, makes them a notable choice for various computing environments, from single-user desktops to small business applications.
