    • QuestionMy pc some time fail, if i use this external hard drive to back up data, how long this hard drive good for, may be 10 yrs? so my data can store in the external hard drive for 10 years? thank you susan

      Asked by susan.

      • Answer I have several Western Digital drives like this that are about 4-5 years old and they are doing fine. It is a good idea to plug them in every once in a while, there's a physical disc inside that spins, and it's good to spin it every couple of months.
