So agree with this.. And when you buy 1 drive buy 2 (2nd one you can keep around as a backup drive should the first 1 die...
Always have a way to backup your drive. At the first sign of an issue backup.
You could also setup a home NAS (personal cloud) that backs up your files for you should your drive go south. You can restore from the backup image.
