After two months and numerous calls to technical support in India the drive crashed completely.

Last month I lost almost 30 years of family photos off my computerplus 3 years of accounting records.

I've had them less than 2 months and fear that they both are going to fail with all my data

Bought WD 4TB external drive on 6/7/17, completely dead by 11/17/17, only 5 months!

I will order one each month (if no problems) until I have three.

I hope it last cause 8T is alot of pics and home vidoes to lose although it's not close to being filled up yet.

Finally, there is an affordable 4T external hard drive

The XBox came with a 1T hard drive, that after two years was filled to capacity (because the video games are HUGE)
