Reviews of the Hitachi SimpleTough external hard drive (USB 2.0, 250GB)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Conveniently integrated USB cable; three-year warranty; local and online data backup; rubber body can withstand 9.8-foot drops and a ton of pressure.
The Bad: No FireWire port; competitors have cheaper cost per gigabyte without rugged specifications; larger than average hardware design.
The Bottom Line: The Hitachi SimpleTough is by far the most indestructible external hard drive we've tested, capable of surviving drops of up to 10 feet and up to one ton of pressure. With a built-in USB cable, two-tiered data security package, and an impressive three-year warranty, we have no issue recommending this external hard drive to shoppers looking for space and security.
