You are very lucky... The Hitachi SimpleTough 500GB is crappy.. They never lasted more than 6 months..nehaladsul said:I got a call from Letsbuy yesterday. They told me that the Hitachi SimpleTough 500GB Drive was not available in stock. *me happy*
They offered to ship the Hitachi X500 500GB Drive instead. I said yes.
Got the Drive delivered today!! :clap:
I am just loving it!! I like the Matte Black finish as opposed to the Glossy (fingerprint magnet) drives coming from WD and Seagate!! :|
What more can I ask for @ Rs.2150/-??
@ veer_singh: Thanx a lot.

nehaladsul said:^^ U purchased 4 drives?? :O
Maybe they have shipped the X500 drives to you as well... But the X500 is really good. Small and cute.

I dunno... The SimpleTough drives have some really good reviews and some really bad ones... And I saw them after having placed the order...
But that doesn't matter now as the X500 has good reviews almost everywhere I saw. Plus the warranty is handled by HCL; so no issues with support as well!
It disappeared on day one. I ordered one and veer_singh ordered 4. I guess it was a bit too much for Letsbuy to digest!!archat68 said:I think the 500GB HDD offer is no more available - I can't find it.
