PC Business Products • April 1, 2005 •

Hypersonic, has utilized the Fujitsu MHT2080BH series 2.5" Serial-ATA (SATA) 5400 RPM mobile hard disk drives in its next-generation Aviator EX7 notebook computer. The Fujitsu hard disk drives have been used to create a RAID 0 array to maximize performance or RAID 1 array for fault tolerance. Market leading capacity, performance and speed make the Hypersonic Aviator EX7 one of the most powerful laptops on the market truly designed to benefit professionals, gamers, and anyone looking for a high power mobile PC.

In designing the Aviator EX7, Hypersonic leveraged some of the most innovative technology and hardware available to combine the power of a desktop computer with a portable 17" notebook. Along with dual Fujitsu hard disk drives, the new Hypersonic notebook features industry leading technology as well as two optical drives to give users the flexibility and performance to tackle virtually any workload.

"Since 1996, Hypersonic has been paving the way in high performance computing due to our vision and our ability to identify and implement key technologies in ways that truly benefit our customers," Eyal Akler, CEO, Hypersonic.
