Sounds like bad luck. How old is the drive?
I have two, one is 10+ years old and it's still going and the other 5 years no issues. Neither of these were used for game storage except for save backups. But I had an internal 1TB HDD die last month, lasted 4 years. This one was used for game storage on PC.
