Half-Terabyte mobile class hard disk with green policy innovation program

Fujitsu Computer Products of America, launched the 2.5-inch MJA2 BH and MJA2 CH series 5400 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/sec mobile hard drives (HDD), achieving capacity of a half-terabyte (500GB), and features the highest capacity to support full disk encryption (FDE) in a 2.5-inch form factor.

The MJA2 CH series supports AES hardware-based FDE using the 256-bit key size, allowing the drive to provide data protection from unauthorized access by setting a password. Encryption and decryption are performed by the hardware of the drive, instead of by the computer's CPU and memory, thereby eliminating the impact on system performance. The security credential that is used to unlock the drive is cryptographically regenerated when the correct password is received at power-on and is unattainable when the system is powered off.

Other features include:

1. Provide a low read/write power consumption of 1.4W (SATA 3.0Gb/sec).
2. A high resistance to operating shock, reducing damage from accidental handling.
3. Fast internal transfer rates to improve overall system performance.
