I 2nd the 2nd paragraph

These hard drives look nice but let me save yall the trouble from using this as “backup storage”. Literally dealing with an older version of this external drive had to send out for data recovery. It never dropped nor received water damage. It just seems to have failed which I believe is on the PCB end of the drive, hoping so to recover it fairly easily. If you use it just do proper backup management on a cloud or something. I mean that’s a given a general better practice anyway. But these things seem to fail eventually so don’t rely on it
