I had one too. Replaced it with an external usb c m.2 enclosure and a Samsung drive. Works great.
I actually cracked open the WD enclosure just out of curiosity. It didn’t seem to have any method to dissipate heat. The new enclosure is all aluminum and has thermal pads so the whole thing is a heat sink.
I wouldn’t be surprised if if the failures come down to overheating.
