I have bought 7 Elements and they have all lasted at least 9 years. The Mybook series have been known to fail more often and i think they use a different drive than in the elements. I only buy Elements externals and Best buys Easystore since it’s the same as elements. I have several 14-18TB drives and they work great for torrenting and data hoarding.

Just a connection issue with the seeder/uploader. That happens sometimes on downloads, but it’s rare.

If you genuinely want them, you will easily find them on a google search. But I’m not going to give Nintendo any help taking down sites.
