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]

Monday, January 11, 2010 at 7:07 AMSame 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.

Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at 8:12 PMThis 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.
