Hi there Yusuf Il,

I would say that hard drive can live for more than 2000 days. Though, as the other guys already mentioned, some can fail soon after you get them. This is why you should always have a backup of your data.

It is always a good idea to test your drives from time to time(brand specific or third party testing tools) in order to check out their health status. This way, you may be able to predict when the drive's condition begins to deteriorate.

Regarding your WD drive, I would say that WD’s drive reliability is measured using Component Design Life (CDL) and Annualized Failure Rate (AFR). The Component Design Life of the drive is 5 years and the Annualized Failure Rate is less than 0.8%.
