Mine failed less than 1 month out of warranty
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I should say I discovered it failing and found out that it is past the 2 year warranty period. I should have used the item more to perhaps notice it sooner. I recommend spend a few dollars more for models with higher warranty. WD has externals with 3 year warranty which is what I would go with next.
