All HDs will eventually fail so it is very important to back them up IMHO.



That's not exactly true.

The only time the HD will fail is when the user has not backed up the data.

That is one of those "Murphy's Law" situations, of course.

if you back up the data properly, the drive will then last forever.

It will still be running fine long after the format is no longer supported by any current OS, long after any files on the thing are no longer needed, it will run *forever*.

But -- If you attemp;t to run that same drive only one time without backup, it will crash and burn on ya.

Of course.
