Hi Nimer,

I also have a Hitachi 500 GB internal hard drive. I use this one for 
all my MP3 music and recordings. So far, that one is working just fine.

I had a bad experience with my previous internal hard drive that died 
on me after 2 years. That one was a Western Digital and also was 500 GB.

I use the Hitachi external hard drive which is also 500 GB. to back 
up anything that I saved on the internal hard drive. So far, that one 
has been working fine. Both drives are 5 months old. How old was your 
Hitachi external hard drive when it died on you?
