    The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars Is because this would be my third hard drive purchase. I have need to backup items daily and it is only meant to perform so many backups before it corrupts. It lasts about two years and then you need a new one.

    First off, I typically always buy WD when possible. I've dropped/spilt water, and these devices still work! Incredible value for what you actually get!
