Well honestly, I'd never heard of anyone having trouble with Hitachi drives until now. Personally I've seen many and only seem a few that had problems, the ones I personally use work well.Count yourself lucky.
After looking around at some reviews though, I can kind of see what you're talking about, that's why I was asking, I was just curious.
