I've been buying 1 TB USB sticks from Western Digital for a few years. You will die in two years. I can handle it. But I bought a few of these in January 2019. It is now early May 2019 and both make clicking noises when I attach them and refuse to mount (connect to the computer). I switch them to the edge and type them on my desk and they stop clicking and connecting and I make a backup. One had issues with clicks in March and now the other is clicking and needs to be touched too. It's pretty ridiculous for a four month record.
