Fujitsu is following SEG's lead in using 3" disks in a 3.5" form factor in their 10,000 rpm drives. SEG is using it in their second generation -- and, if I am not mistaken, SEG will continue using it it in their third generation Cheetahs -- while Fujitsu is using it in their first generation 10,000 rpm drives. I haven't really checked but I don't think IBM (first gen 10,000 rpm drives) and Hitachi (first gen 14,000 rpm drives) use the same approach.

Notable is the way that the disk drive designs of IBM, Fujitsu and Hitachi benefit from the fact that all three are major mainframe players illustrating the conventional wisdom that the best component designs often flow from a systems approach to product development. As the only indy in the bunch and the dominant player in this category, SEG has established close ties with the most influential players in high-end storage systems, notably EMC.
