for the performance you get for the price, it's really pretty good

The hard drive powers off if it's a secondary hard drive. When you go to use something on it you'll hear it spin up and probably a little lag. Then once you're using it it'll be fine and normal.

but HDDs have moving parts, which can wear out as well

MegaScientifical:
There's definitely something wrong. It was running, making that woom-woom-woom noise, and then it suddenly stopped with like a... grinding noise? I can't actually remember what the noise was, but I know it was bad. I opened a folder on the drive through a shortcut, and it went spun up again making the normal noises again, and loaded the files as it should. But it shouldn't be grinding to a halt.
