External hard drives (like most computers) have about a 4 year lifespan;at least that has been MY experience(heart breaking experience). At the 3 year mark I transfer everything onto a new drive AND attempt to save the most precious items to disc...which don't last forever either!

Hmmm interesting.. I didn't know that about lifespan... thanks for sharing this info... so maybe the best thing will be to store on iCloud? So sad.. will see tomorrow if I can have anything back...
