Information on Hitachi microdrives - Aaa Travelmoney, Oct 24, 2009

I bought a Hitachi microdirive MD6GBBP in $50 through Amazon, but it was
not able to connect to any notebook PC through any PC card adaptor becasue
this microdrive I bought wqas a white lavel one even though the ADD page
was shown in blue lavel one as shown in this request page of my review.
There are two types of Hitach microdrives according to Hitachi. One has
blue lavel like shown on this web site. The other has white lavel. Cheap
one had white lavel.
I found the defference after I got a response of Hitachi support center
on my question how to get and install the driver. Hitachi said they will
never support the microdrive with white lavel directly.
Now I use it through a memory card adoptor after re-formatting. It runs
well even though the microdrive is white lavel one.

Beware! - Warren R. Amole III, Sep 02, 2009

I have been using this microdrive occasionally with my Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 and it worked great - pretty fast considering - until the last time I inserted it and turned on my camera. It immediately shut down and would not power up again. I had to send it into Sony, along with the microdrive, and they reported that the microdrive was "bad" and it caused the DC converter card to blow. $220 later...... and it only has a 1 year warranty.HITACHI 6GB Microdrive MD6GBBP

I needed the 4 GB and not the 6; so they replaced it for me. - Steve Ulbredtch, Dec 29, 2008

I needed the 4 GB and not the 6; so they replaced it for me. No problems in getting the item replaced with the one that I needed, the 4GB instead of the 6GB. No hastles, they took very good care of me and I'd be glad to do business with them in the future.

No factory service available after warranty!!! - S. Auerbach, Jun 16, 2008

14 months after I bought this POS for $279.00 plus tax, it stopped working completely. Okay, I thought I would send it back to Hitachi and they would repair it and charge me for the repair. It turns out that they will not service this product after the 1 year warranty. It says something about their faith in their own product and Hitachi customer support. Three months after I called them I got a call from their customer service department to see if my issue was resolved to my satisfaction. When I told their service rep about their policy, she said that was incredible and she would follow up and get back to me.
NEVER HAPPENED.
I will never give Hitachi the opportunity to screw me again!
NEVER AGAIN will I buy a Hitachi product.

Now dead - Jamie B. Camp, Mar 16, 2007

Worked great for 14 months using a Nikon 2Dx, at 14 months completely died- camera and computer will not recognize. Lost 6 gigs of photos and wasted money on card. Contacted customer support at Hitachi and they said, "Its out of warranty. Nothing we can do."
