Fujitsu is offering a new technology in their latest hard drive series MHW2xxxBH. This new technology called FFS or freefall sensor protects the drive when it is dropped. According to Fujitsu, the sensor uses the time between being dropped and hitting the surface below to realign the heads so that they don’t crash onto the medium. This new technology is obviously beneficial for notebook users. According to the company its ramp load technology moves the head from the medium onto its ramp while the drive is in freefall. Thus when the drive hits any surface after being dropped its head will not crash onto the medium hence the drive and its data will remain protected. This self activating sensor protects the drive for a fall of more than 20cm. Fujitsu will integrate the sensor in all SATA hard drives of the series which will be having a capacity between 40GB and 160GB.
