Fujitsu phases out of 3.5″ IDE desktop arena
Fujitsu Canada has announced a new strategic focus for its hard disk drive (HDD) products group that includes a concerted push for market leadership in the fast-growing enterprise and mobile HDD markets, and a phased withdrawal from the 3.5″ IDE desktop drive arena, including both 5400 and 7200 rpm products.
The new focus is intended to capitalize on exploding demand for enterprise HDD products for servers and storage devices, growth in the mobile HDD segment, and emerging markets for smaller hard drives in consumer-oriented household appliances, audio-visual products and other non-PC applications. To accommodate the new push, Fujitsu will shift development, manufacturing and sales resources away from a 3.5″ IDE desktop drive market that recorded negative growth in the first half of 2001.
