Even though I still had a WD Passport external drive, I completely lost 
faith in them as a company when the hard disk I purchased for the laptop 
I owned from 2010 to 2015 died after 8 months without warning. I've 
never seen a hard disk die that quickly, and it's not like I was lugging 
the laptop around while sleeping or anything.
