Hitachi SimpleTOUGH USB Drive Shrugs Off 3 Metre Freefalls

Another rugged drive. This one good for 3 metre falls, and up to a ton of weight. And it has an integrated USB cable. Well, I’m impressed. Comes in sizes from 250-500GB for $US100-$140. [SimpleTech via GizMag]
Same thing here…I’ve done some research and it appears it’s a fatal design flaw. The case might be “rugged” but the integrated usb/power is pathetic. Look on Amazon…it’s happening to everyone. This product should be recalled. That doesn’t save your data but it might save you some time.
This product is a complete failure. Just a month old and it no longer works. Read the Amazon reviews on this. What a waste of time and money. would never buy another Hitachi product… and I will spread the news.
