I agree with the rest, 2 does not make a pattern.
I use WDs extensively and only had a few failures. None of the failures led to
dataloss. (Thanks to SMART and Backups)
For 1GB spinning rust 2.5inch, I use WD Blue drives. They do the job they were
bought for (cheap backup storage).
After 5 years, you might want to consider replacing the laptop though
(Assuming that's where the drive is)
