    I had not realized that back up drives are reliable for only 5 years or so. I’m glad I purchased a new drive recommended by a Best Buy Geek.

    I deal a lot with sensitive data which requires me to use encryption for storage, WD's built in hardware based encryption is an easy an effective solution.
