Hitachi launches 160 GB perpendicular mobile hard drive
San Jose (CA) – Hitachi today announced its first perpendicular magnetic recording technology (PMR) hard disk. The drive offers 160 GB in a 2.5″ form factor and promises at least as much reliability as its predecessors with substantially less storage density.
Not too long ago, it appeared that the common hard drive finally had closed in on a barrier of a natural storage density limitation that would force manufacturers to transition to completely new technologies within a few years. Perpendicular has been a floating concept for quite a while, and was often described as a transitional technology from the traditional, three-decade old “Winchester” technology to a new generation of hard drives, which are predicted to use lasers make read and write processes more reliable.

[...] Recently, Fujitsu had launched the MHX2300BT series of mobile hard disk drives feature of 250GB and 300GB and this is the the first 2.5″ PMR hard disk drives in the industry to attain these high levels of capacity. Engineered using perpendicular magnetic recording technology (PMR), which is essential to achieving the increased capacity per platter, the new small form factor HDDs will address the growing demand for higher capacity storage solutions.
