You should consider replacing your backup drives between the third and sixth year of use.

A desktop external hard drive is a great local backup for a computer that mostly stays parked on a desk. Just backing up to one or the other isn’t enough – having both on-site and cloud backups ensures that your data stays safe from localised threats such as fire, theft or natural disaster, as well as internet outages or disruptions to the cloud backup provider. Fortunately, backing up your data is easy, and getting started takes only a few minutes: read our advice and set up a system that will back up your files automatically both to an external hard drive and the cloud. Your computer’s internal drive will stop working someday, and unless your data is backed up, it’ll be gone forever. If you’re not backing up the important documents and photos on your computer, you should start.

If you need more storage, we recommend the Western Digital 8 TB My Book.
