>I just lost a 4 years worth of my kid's videos. I will never forgive WD.

I'm sorry, but your fate was sealed the moment you decided that one copy was sufficient. Drives can fail randomly, so keeping valuable data on one without redundancy will virtually guarantee that you will lose data at some point in time. Just be thankful that you learned your lesson and it only cost 4 years worth of videos. If it happened 3 years down the line it could easily have been 7 years worth of videos.
