Why not try an SSD? Faster and more reliable.

Western Digital has a 4 year lifespan.......it will fail after that period, it was designed to do so......the controller chip is programmed to fail.......marketing strategy....i cannot prove this, but it is common knowledge amongst pc repair shops....

The Western Digital 1TB drives in use are nearly 6 years old on average. There are several drives with nearly 7 years of service. It wasnt until 2015 that the failure rate for Western Digital rose above the annual average for all drives. This makes sense given the bathtub curve of drive failure where drives over 4 years start to fail at a higher rate. Still the WD 1TB drives have performed well for a long time.

Bottom line, i do not trust either Seagate or WD........Panasonic, LG and Toshiba are my first choices........

Seagate does not have a set pattern for failure, it fails more than any other harddrive, Google harddrive failures, Seagate takes the cake.......but it should not bother the average user, but i prefer a drive less likely to fail.....just my opinion....

So, WD drives are slightly better in the one and four to six terrabyte range....two and three terrabyte are a no-no....that is, if you even get to four years.....
