I was stupid enough to not make a backup because "I just bought the drive, it can't die on me this quickly, I'll do it in a couple of months when I have more data!!". So I moved a bunch of movies and tv shows I had saved over the years into it.

Well, it died within the first THREE HOURS. I'll let this be a lesson and move on with tears in my eyes. I can't even get angry because this is purely on me (and WD tbh, like what do you mean you're giving up on me this soon).
