I have already gathered a whole collection (four disks) of this model from friends and acquaintances. Three drives died after 1-2 years of not very active use. One lived for 3 years, but still covered himself in the end. In general, everything would be fine if he did not die so suddenly, taking data with him to the grave. Experience shows that the WD3200BEVT and WD3200BPVT models behave in a similar way.
