Query: DO NOT BUY THIS HD UNLESS YOU ENJOY LOSING YOUR DATA

I first bought this SimpleTech 500GB drive a year and a half ago and was very satisfied with how easy it was to use. Everything seemed to be going fine - until barely 3 months in. I have never in my life yet experienced any sort of PC crashes, so I was more that shocked when the item i purchased to prevent the headaches and hassle crapped out on me after only 3 months. Emailing SimpleTech didn't work either as they don't have any way to fix the device, I'd have to shell out big bucks to get the data recovered and then mail it out to them to be replaced. No deal. Bye bye 75GB worth of video clips and pictures.Unfortunately, I wasn't around when my mom was shopping for another external a year later, and she brings home another SimpleTech 500GB. Well guess what happened? Yup, little blinking red light of death after 6 months. I seriously question how this product is still on the market when it is the biggest pile of junk ever.
