Fujitsu announced on Wednesday in the US that it will ship its first hard drive to use perpendicular recording in October -- a 160GB, 2.5-inch drive for laptops.
Seagate has announced its first 3.5-inch disk drives using perpendicular storage technology, which it hopes will break through the storage limitations that are beginning to impact hard-drive technology.
Toshiba says it has earned the right to say it's more dense than its competitors.
Toshiba says it has become the first manufacturer to commercially release hard drives with perpendicular recording platters, an industrywide innovation that greatly increases the amount of data a drive can hold.
Hitachi Global Storage will come out with hard drives containing 230 gigabits of data per square inch, the company is expected to announce on Monday, which could mean a 20GB iPod mini.

With storage capacity running up against physical limits, Hitachi Global Storage CEO Jun Naruse says new tech's time has come.
Seagate Technology, the largest hard drive manufacturer in the world, has started to ship its first drive for notebooks based on perpendicular recording techniques, a shift that increases capacity by 25 percent.
Storage hardware can't keep indefinitely storing more bits in the same amount of space. When will we run out of disk space, and what will we do when it happens?
The only question is which approach will work best -- using molten silicon, designer molecules, or maybe protein globules?

Heat or dots? The question is dividing the hard drive industry as it prepares for a major product overhaul.
Double the capacity and double the price, the new WD Passport offers some extra speed but little in the way of new features.
Fujitsu is planning to release a 300GB hard drive for notebooks, which it says will set a record for SATA (serial ATA)-based 2.5-inch drives.
From room-sized mainframes to handheld PDAs, computers are getting, smaller, smaller, and smaller. Storage, both hard disk and memory, are doing the same.
