I still got a toshiba 500gb drive that's close to 15 years old still chugging along at 100% health while I've seen many old toshiba drives failalways keep multiple backups of your critical files, even in your personal lifebtw try to avoid WD external drives because the USB connector comes soldered on to the HDD PCB. so if the port breaks you can't remove the enclosure and plug it directly to a SATA port</blockquote>
