Digital camera reviews of SimpleTech by Hitachi SimpleDrive 500 GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive SP-U35/500 (designed by Pininfarina)
Digital camera Review: Excellent Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent system that goes anywhere and is pretty much ready to handle anything, this spinning drive makes data storage a breeze. Total space is actually 464 GB, formatting and what not owning the rest. I chose not to use the pre-installed software, and had no problems with it. This drive runs super quiet and is very shock resistent. I'm extremely happy with it and will definitely buy from Simpletech again.Digital camera Review: External Hard drive

Summary: 2 Stars
Seems a good product. But I noticed some people they had the same problem that I had last week.
I had the 500gb. Suddenly I got flashing red light problem and everything stopped working. I opened the box and I completely disconned the hard drive from the box. Then I connected the HD using "USB 2.0 Drive Mate" kit to my laptop and fortunately my laptop recognized the drive as a usb drive and everything worked fine. Quickly I backuped my data in another drive.
Seems my problem was about the smal board in simpletech box which connect the HD to the usb port.

We bought this drive to replace a defective WD MyBook (not recommended).
