So how many more stories of these drives being absolute garbage do we all have?

Of all the drives I’ve ever owned. From Hitachi, Maxxtor, Seagate, Western Digital and others…this is the only one I’ve had that died. Apparently this is a trend with these particular drives?

This one is currently a paperweight

    It is over a decade old.

    How long should a hard drive last, do you suppose?

      More than the year it did. It’s been used as a paperweight for close to a decade.
