Fujitsu announced a 2.5-inch laptop drive that features desktop-type specs of 160 Gbytes and 7200-RPM speeds. The drive will begin shipping to computer makers in the second quarter.

"Fujitsu has positioned itself well to capitalize on the growing demand for higher performance with 7200-RPM laptop hard disk drives that replace the functionality found traditionally on desktop PCs," said Joel Hagberg, VP of marketing and business development at the Fujitsu unit, in a statement.

The firm, which said the drive is the industry's first hard drive with a SATA 3.0-Gbyte/interface, is aimed at graphics intensive video and audio applications.
