Fujitsu’s 256-Bit AES Drive
Although it may not be so well known in some markets, Fujitsu always produced good hard drives, and now they are releasing their first hardware-encrypted 2.5-inch drive, with the new MHZ2 CJ model. If you feel that someone's watching you all the time and software data security is never enough, then I am sure you'll be delighted to hear about Fujitsu's latest drive for those like you...
The Fujitsu MHZ CJ is the first consumer-class device to feature full encryption with 256-bit AES key, while being available in 80GB, 120GB, 160GB, 250GB as well as 320GB capacities, for the Serial ATA-150/300 interface. Anyway, performance is not a weak spot, especially if we think about the fact this is basically a hard drive for laptops - 7200rpm rotational speed, 16MB of cache, and a declared average read seek time of 10.5ms, followed by a write seek time of 12.5ms being good even for desktop computers.
While Seagate offers 128-bit encryption for some of its drives, Fujitsu's 256-bit encryption is better, and the drive comes with a feature which allows all data stored on the disk to be erased instantly, in less than a second!
Humm...it seems that thieves stealing laptops have less chances with each day to steal personal data, too, and that's nothing but good news for the rest of us.
