Description
Fujitsu M2361A Super Eagle 10.5in SMD Format Hard Disk Drive System 115V AC
The Fujitsu M2361A Super Eagle is a 10.5-inch SMD (Storage Module Drive) format hard disk drive system designed for use with mainframe and high-end minicomputer installations that relied on the SMD interface standard. It is a self-contained floor-standing/desktop storage unit with its own integrated power supply, cooling, and front-panel diagnostic controls. The unit runs on 115V AC power.

Applications
The SMD (Storage Module Drive) interface was the dominant high-capacity disk storage standard for mainframe and large minicomputer systems from the mid-1970s through the late 1980s. SMD drives like the Fujitsu Super Eagle series were used with systems from manufacturers such as DEC, Data General, Prime Computer, Perkin-Elmer, and various Unix workstation platforms, connecting via the SMD bus to dedicated disk controllers. The M2361A belongs to Fujitsu's "Super Eagle" generation of large-format SMD drives, which represented some of the highest-capacity SMD storage available in their era. Today, units like this are sought by collectors of vintage computing hardware, museums, and operators of legacy systems still running original SMD-based hardware who need spare drives or parts. The SMD standard has long been superseded by SCSI, ESDI, and later ATA/SATA interfaces, so this drive is primarily of historical and parts value.
This Fujitsu M2361A Super Eagle SMD Format Hard Disk Drive System is being sold as-is for parts or repair. The source data notes 115V AC operation and indicates the unit has not been tested at our facility; testing requirements were not confirmed. The unit powers from 115V AC and appears cosmetically complete based on our photos — the front panel shows the drive bay door, control indicators (Fault, Start, Power On, Ready), and rocker switches intact; the rear shows the SMD interface connectors and cooling fan in place; and the front access panel opens to reveal the internal diagnostic board with sector counter and LED indicators. Surface wear and scuffing are visible on the chassis, consistent with a used unit of this age. This item is sold strictly as-is with no functionality guarantee. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
