Fujitsu rocks the 2.5-inch SATA

They announced this a good while ago, but Fujitsu is now officially shipping these in volume now — supposedly the world’s first Serial ATA (SATA) drives in the 2.5-inch form factor. The MHT2080BH series ranges from 40GB to 80GB sizes with an 8MB buffer. Performance gets a boost from the Native Command Queueing (NCQ) technology that queues and coordinates 32 simultaneous instructions. Beyond the specs, the size of these things is key, as you can stuff three or four of them into the space usually occupied by a regular 3.5-inch drive.
