This morning I woke up to find that my backup drive had failed. I unplugged it and plugged it back in, and Windows said there was a problem with the drive, and offered to scan & repair it, which it successfully did. It is a 2TB Seagate One Touch HDD SCSI Drive.

Now I'm wondering what might've caused that to happen. I realize there are thousands of reasons, but this drive is less than a year old, and showed no signs of wearing out before this happened.

I was downloading the files of one of my websites when it crashed. The download was expected to take 8 hours or so, so I let it run through the night. Could it be just a matter of making the drive work steady for so long? I'm concerned that I might need to replace it, which would suck.
