This 14 T drive is rather new, so I can't attest to its longevity. I do, however, have several of the other WD My Book drives, and they have been in constant use for a number of years, the oldest probably around 8 to 10 years. I've never had a problem with any of them. They also have a feature in the WD Drive Utilities software that checks the drive and can tell you if there are any potential drive failures.

Hi Runowski, My Book desktop storage comes with a 3-year limited warranty and we expect our products to outlive its warranty period. To help prevent data loss, we recommend implementing the 321 backup strategy. For more information about the drive refer to the link: http://products.wdc.com/library/AAG/ENG/4178-707230.pdf -Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information.
