Fujitsu HDD: Comments, Compatibility ?

Message

agarza · #1 Post by **agarza** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 7:30 am

I plan on replacing my noisy and non-stopping heat generator E7K100 for a Fujitsu 80GB HDD, but I've been wondering if the drive would get accepted by my T41p BIOS:

I don't have the model number, but I was wondering if I wouldn't get the 2010 error. And if that forementioned error do apply to T41p/T42p's or just the T43's..

Cheers.

I've had just about every HD available in one or another of my T41Ps at some time and I've never experienced any problems or 2010 errors.

I will work fine, in fact you will notice it is more silent.

I use to have in my 770Z.

Fujitsu HDD's are more silent than 5400rpm Hitachi drives?

I can say that the Fujutsu 40GB, 5400rpm drive that came with my T42 is definitely more silent than the replacement IBM Travelstar (Hitachi) 20GB drive I had in my 600E (don't remember the rpm). I don't hear my Fujitsu at all. I can't say whether that will translate into other model Fujitsu's or not. Fujitsu does list noise in decibles at idle (but not when transferring data

) on their website.

As soon as I buy my E7K100 (or should I keep it), I will buy a 80GB Fujitsu 5400rpm HDD

Could anyone post specific model numbers of Fujitsu HDD that has 5400rpm spindle speed and 8MB of data buffer.
So I can check on eBay and be sure what I'm getting.

Thanks

it's the MHV2080AS. I just installed mine yesterday. I freakin love it. It seems more responsive than my old Fujitsu 80GB 5400rpm that I didn't have any real problems with.

Where could I order one of those hDD like yours?
on eBay there are not HDD available to be send outside US.

Maybe someone here are selling this model?

The MHV2080AS is designed for extended duty (24/7 operation). Its ambient operating temp is 5C to 40C. The regular version is MHV2080AH. Its ambient operating temp is 5C to 55C. For the US, the AH version seems to have 3 years warranty versus 1 year for the AS version. See specs here:
Fujitsu Mobile Hard Drives

Brent Presley has a slightly older version, MHT2080AH, for sale here and I think he will send it outside of US:

the MHT has an IBM FRU and is not the 8mb cache version.

hmm I should check to see if mine is the AS or AH.

Hmm, according to the Fujitsu specs, the MHT version should have 8mb cache:
MHTxxxAH specs

Is the IBM version different?

ah maybe I read it wrong somewhere... so did I just replace my MHT2080AH with the MHV2080AH for no good reason? yay *sulks*

edit: MHV seems to have slightly lower operating power levels, is 28 vs. 34dB, both have 3-year warranties, etc.
