Device Overview

1.1 Features

1.1.1 Functions and performance

The following features of the disk drive are described.

(1) Compact

The disk drive has up to 1 disk of 65 mm (2.5 inches) diameter, and its height is

9.5mm (0.374 inch).

(2)Environmental Protection

The disk drive complies with the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) directive issued by European Union (EU).

(3) Large capacity

The disk drive can record up to 60 GB (formatted) on one disk using the RLL recording method and 30 recording zone technology. The disk drive has a formatted capacity of 60 GB (MHW2060AC) and 40 GB (MHW2040AC) respectively.

(4) High-speed Transfer rate

The disk drive has an internal data rate up to 48.9 MB/s. The disk drive supports an external data rate up to 100 MB/s (U-DMA mode 5).

(5) Average positioning time

Use of a rotary voice coil motor in the head positioning mechanism greatly increases the positioning speed. The average positioning time is 12 ms (at read).

1.1.2 Adaptability

(1) Power save mode

The power save mode feature for Idle operation, Standby and Sleep modes and automatically power down by APM function makes the disk drive ideal for mobile use where power consumption is a factor.

(2) Wide temperature range

The disk drive can be used over a wide temperature range (-30 °C to 90 °C or -20 °C to 85 °C at DE surface for each model).

MHW2060AC, MHW2040AC specifications

The Fujitsu MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC are notable hard disk drives (HDDs) that have been widely used in various computing applications, especially in laptops and compact devices. These models are part of Fujitsu's commitment to providing reliable storage solutions that meet the demands of modern computing.

The MHW2040AC offers a storage capacity of 40 GB, while the MHW2060AC provides a slightly larger capacity at 60 GB. This range of storage makes both models suitable for users looking for dependable space for documents, multimedia files, and software applications. Both drives utilize a 2.5-inch form factor, ideal for mobile computing, as they are lightweight and designed to fit into space-constrained environments.

In terms of performance, both drives operate at a spindle speed of 5400 RPM. This speed strikes a balance between power consumption and performance, making these drives an efficient choice for everyday tasks, such as web browsing and office applications. The drives are equipped with an interface of Ultra ATA/133, which enables faster data transfer rates compared to older models, thereby enhancing overall system responsiveness.

The MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC also incorporate several advanced technologies to bolster their performance and reliability. One such feature is the use of a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) for the spindle motor, which minimizes noise and vibration, thus improving the overall user experience. Additionally, both drives come with error correction technology that helps maintain data integrity by detecting and correcting errors during read and write operations.

Moreover, these HDDs feature a shock sensor that can detect sudden movements, allowing the drive to park its heads to prevent data loss and hardware damage. This is particularly beneficial in mobile environments where the risks of impact are higher.

Both the MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC are designed with energy-saving features, making them an environmentally responsible choice for energy-conscious consumers. Their low power consumption not only contributes to a reduced carbon footprint but also extends battery life for portable devices.

In summary, the Fujitsu MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC are reliable, efficient, and user-friendly hard disk drives that combine moderate capacities with advanced features designed to enhance performance, ensure data integrity, and extend device longevity. These drives are well-suited for a range of applications, making them a solid choice for users seeking dependable storage solutions.
