Dead Drive

My 400GB External Harddrive of 2 years is finally dieing. It's a Western Digital "My Passport" harddrive, and it was great while it worked well. It's been lagging something terrible, and it can't copy data over, but I can recover data from it. I think it has something to do with David Geisert and Marco Iacobacci copying loads of data back and forth; but that is what ticks me off, because it's built for data transfer. I guess I'll buy a better one next time.
