Why do hard drives die? What causes this to happen?
___________

Every hard drive dies.  They are spinning plates that are read with a small magnetic needle.  All moving parts have a 100% failure rate eventually.  Just like humans. So go get a backup, check the spare tire in your car, and be sure you’ve made out a will. Nothing lasts forever.
