Which company makes the actual disk? Is it Toshiba, Hitachi, or someone else?

I'm not sure but they are a division of HGST (which is owned by Western Digital) so my guess is Hitachi or WD.

I'll answer with a copy paste "...HGST (formerly known as Hitachi Global Storage Technologies or Hitachi GST), a Western Digital company (NASDAQ: WDC), develops advanced hard disk drives, enterprise-class solid state drives, innovative external storage solutions and services used to store, preserve and manage the world's most valued data. Founded by the pioneers of hard drives, HGST provides high-value storage for a broad range of market segments, including Enterprise, Desktop, Mobile Computing, Consumer Electronics and Personal Storage.

I hope that's what you where asking for!

I believe it's Hitachi. I love this drive. I use it for video editing and it's pretty solid.

No hard drive in the Toshiba. It looks like the Philips has been discontinued so the only ones available are the last remaining units at the big dollar stores. You could have bought a truck load last month for $294 (great value), now the only businesses selling them are asking $599.

I should have posted this earlier. It appears to be an error message related to the disk. Could be disk stuck or disk drive dead (the latter in my case). I took Toshiba up on the replacement. It was something in the range of $80-$90 and the replacement unit actually appears to be new rather than refurb. I had enough of an investment in disks that it was worth it if I could get another couple of years' service.If you do go the replacement route, make sure to get a receipt notice from the post office. Toshiba actually lost our unit in receiving and it took a bit of yelling to get it straightened out.I'll eventually go Blu-Ray when the players are as good and the disks are as cheap as HD-DVD was two years ago.

I believe that it is from toshiba. Usually when you look at the product on amazon it will have the company that makes the product and if I remember correctly there was toshiba in parentheses after the product name

I ordered from Amazon directly - no third party. The bad inner box was due to Seagate. The bad outer box was due to Amazon.

My i3847-6924BK has a TSSTcorp (I believe to stand for Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology) DVD+-RW SJ-216DB optical drive installed.

It is a marketing thing. They all show the internals to the disk. When you get a new one it is sealed.

it is not on this laptop....neither is there a CD drive...I am totally unhappy with this laptop, and the vendor I bought it from. I would advise to stay away from both.

The unit I receive was a re-fab with a 5400 rpm western digital hdd. I hope that helps.

China, not Japan. Hitachi corporate is in Japan. Read the label carefully. My 15 year old version was made in Singapore.

I ordered the 80g from Rakuton, it was shipped from Referbished PC and worked only two days. I am really not sure what the hard drive actually is.

This external hard drive contains a SATA-2 5400 rpm hard drive with a 8mb buffer.I would tell you the model number but it gets deleted when I post it.I would tell you how I know for sure but that gets deleted also.So in other words you just need to use your noodle and seek out the info you need; there are ways but this will probably get deleted to so what's the point in all of this?PS I Bought this thing and I have hands on experience with it!

It has been my experience that these drives will last for several years. I should add that I run open source operating systems and they do considerably less virtual memory caching('thrashing') to the device than the commercially produced operating systems. In my opinion, Toshiba drives are solid, reliable products.

The link is showing different drives (Western Digitial, Hitachi, Seagate and Toshiba). Which model are you referring to?

Sorry I do not know specifically, but you could go to the Toshiba web site & that could point you in the correct direction

I think it was a 2 year warranty as I recall. Double check on Toshiba website.
