Doing a bit of research on the SimpleDrive's, it seems like all of them have the same problem. All of the different sizes exhibit the same issue:
Eventually your computer will just stop detecting them.
The connection on the inside of the casing is joggled loose due to the vibrations of the disk being read when turned on.
Mine stopped working after two uses; thank god it didn't work long enough for me to transfer my media files to it (personal photos of family, etc), because I'd be spending a lot of money in data recovery fees to retrieve them.
If you get a good drive from the batch, sounds like it's a great product to use. But looking at all of the absolute poor reviews sprinkled among the good ones, it seems like 1-out-of-5 drives is a lemon. You're taking a chance with this drive. I wouldn't move files to these drives and delete the copies on your laptop/desktop; you'll likely lose them.
Do a google search on "simpledrive 1tb not detected" to see how many people have this problem.
I've called tech support twice already over two days and left them a message to call me back. Still waiting on their callback to get a refund.

I purchased a different model than the one listed here, but after using it 3-4 times, it stopped working. I contacted Customer Support and was basically told, "too bad." They would not stand by their product, offered no apology for their product's failure, did not offer to replace it, said they they would not accept a return since they do not provide service, and said my only hope to recover my data was to bring it to a data recovery company.
I purchased an external hard drive in order to keep my data safe, but it was not safe on a SimpleTech drive. I may as well have just deleted my old files, photos and documents.
I will not buy ANY Hitachi/SimpleTech products again.

I bought two, one to back up on the other. As soon as I crossed over the information from my old hard drive and got rid of it, the new one crashed. The other one stopped working about a week later. Five years of information family photos and work gone. I contacted the company. They said they would replace them but my information is my problem. I would not take one for free. I am struggling with how to get the information off the one and then I will return both. Most unhappy.

i bought it recently and working great. simple to use. taking backup is so easy. backup application is user friendly. it is great for backup or write files directly to the drive.
By S. A. ROBBINS (USA)
These drives are highly unreliable. This is my second and both quit after short periods of time. Big problem is what do you do with the data still on the drives? Are you willing to risk someone reading the drive data when you return them? I was not and talking to one of their techs was a waste of time. These are throwaway and junk.
