This drive is flawless compared to the Seagate and Western Digital external it replaced. The design is sleek and functional, it is a little chunkier than my Seagate and WD but cools much better. The bottom is vented and I would like to think there is a cooling fan behind the vent but I am unsure. Either way after hours of writing data, and encrypting the drive the exterior is just barely warm with no slow down of performance. This is impressive compared to my Seagate which would be hot to the touch after 2-3 hours with a considerable loss of performance. The transfer speed on this drive is also very fast, using the USB 3.0 connection I was writing to the drive at 60mb/ps on average from an internal sata 2 drive. I can't comment on the bundled backup software or the online cloud storage because I formatted the drive out the box. My only complaints about this drive is I would like to sit it on its side but there is no label to tell you which side is up so you don't know rather the drive is upside down or not which if you plan to keep in the vertical position does not apply, and there is no on/off switch so to turn the drive off you have to unplug it. These things may not bother you. Overall I would definitely recommend this drive to anyone who needs fast reliable external storage. I ordered mine from J&R with expedite shipping, it arrived in 2days as promised. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Hand a problem, and tech support was amazing! By Gtaylor4mayor I just recieved my Hitachi touro desk pro in the mail. While reformatting it for my Mac I ran into a problem that unmounted the drive and it did not show up anymore. (tip for mac users: You have to go into partition and select 1 partition with the 3TB drives. and then format. The bigger drives need to be repartitioned due to the mass space.) I called tech support and was hearing a real person within 2 minutes. Tony the tech guy was very helpful through the process and then explained to me why it happened. Guy knew his stuff. I am currently backing up a ton a files and cant even hear the drive running. and the USB 3.0 is very fast. I recommend this drive not just because of its great build and price but also because of the tech support. 1 phone call and 5 minutes later my problem was fixed. Thanks Hitachi for putting my faith back into customer service. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Nice fast drive but doesn't play well with linux By clicq Let me start off with some of the good points about this drive. It is relatively inexpensive, looks fairly nice, and is definitely fast (I can copy to and from it at over 100MB/s in windows 7). It is also fairly quiet.Now for the bad. The main problem I have with this drive is the poor linux support. *begin techy rant* Whatever chipset this uses does not play well with linux at all. With the default uas driver, it will cause my machine to completely lock (a Dell m4600). It does this on the two machines I've tried it on and happens with two different versions of Ubuntu and several kernel versions. A Seagate GoFlex USB 3 2tb drive works perfectly fine out of the box without needing to do anything special. I am able to get this drive to work by blacklisting the uas driver, and loading and unloading the usb_storage kernel module a few times, but it's definitely not plug and play. It does work fine in Windows 7, so this may not be a huge problem for most people, and it does work in linux with a bit of hacking. *end techy rant*The case is all plastic (even the silver part), the drive does get warm (though it's not a huge concern), and the power and usb cables are rather short (the power cable does have a transformer brick on the end, but it's fairly narrow, so depending on your power strip, it may or may not take up multiple outlets).
