Avoid this product line: very high failure rate,
In recent months, there were lots of offers for various Hitachi hard drives at very low prices.
I think, having purchased a total of six Hitachi hard drives, I know why: they are simply not reliable and Hitachi’s policies re very suspect.
I purchased four of their 750 GB USB portable drives and two failed within minutes. It took them almost two months to replace one of them and the replacement was a “refurbished” unit.
I also purchased two Duo Pros. On one of them, the RAID selector switch broke off on first use. The unit had been purchased new in April, 2011. It has – supposedly – a one-year warranty. But as I’ve seen with the other two Hitachi failed drives I’ve returned so far this year, Hitachi times the warranty from the date of manufacture, not the date of sale or delivery to the user. So I wound up with an 8-month, not a 12-month, warranty.
Finally, on the Duo Pro models, the user cannot replace a drive if it fails. You’re supposed to copy the contents of the good drive in a RAID 1 configuration and then send the entire unit to Hitachi for warranty replacement.
Also, I learned from a Hitachi tech rep this week that the 4TB units provide no indication that a drive has failed in the unit!
Pay a few dollars more in order to avoid Hitachi hard drives.
