90 thousand hours on my hard drive

[cheersalt1]

Over 10 years.

Anyone got more than me?

93,221 on an old Samsung Spinpoint 1tb, definitely on it's way out according to the Smart status.

 

My first SSD from ~2013 is still running in my server, 80,674 hours.

 

And on the high usage SSD side, 102TB lifetime writes to my Crucial MX100 500gb. It's my sacrificial lamb, so Photoshop scratch disk, video editing and rendering, Nvidia Shadow play. Any time I play a game this drive is getting 300mb a minute written to it.

 

At this point all three of these drives are experiments to see how long they'll last.

Wow, that crucial ssd has had a lot of use. I wonder who's high milage hhd will die first lol, my one gets very hot very quick.

32000h on the drive I just replaced. 27000h on my current oldest drive.

I can only accomodate 3 HDD so I sell the oldest whenever I need more space.

50° isn't recommended.

On my XP system I have around 12 years on the Seagate 7200.7.

I leave my computer running 24/7 ... this drive took a break of around 8-10 months otherwise ran pretty much 24/7 since I bought it (save for a reboots for windows updates, 1-2 power failures a year etc).

 

98,428 hours and 1172 restarts  WD Black 1 TB has a few bad sectors, isolated them by making two separate partitions and the bad sectors outside those partitions. Still slows down when reading near that area, but files don't get corrupted. Using it only for series and movies I don't care if they get corrupted.

edit : if anyone cares, bad sectors started developing around 7-8 years into his life, so outlived its 5 year warranty, can't complain.

 

The other drives are 65K , 15K, 67.5K hours all without any problems.

Replaced a couple Deskstars recently that were thrown out by a company and I picked up for free, then proceeded to run them for like 8 more years. The highest one had power-on hours of 98,764 or 11.2 years. As far as I know it still works.

Wow, this is a cool post. I got a hitachi deskstar with 144,367 hours. I even made a video about it a while ago: 

(Smart info at end of video)

[Ryker Robb]

I also have a wd800jd with 86,647 hours, and a hitachi ultrastar hua722050cla330  with 72,376 hours!

[Ryker Robb]

There is also a guy in the comments of that video who claims to have a WD200BB-75DEA0 with 146,369 power on hours.

[Weezy]

Those are insane numbers and especially that most of them are still showing good status.

Impressive,

Did you also have HDDs dying on you though ?

And did you have that drive at 50° during many of those hours ?

[worstalentscout]

the HDD Union should be up in arms over these hours...............gives these HDDs a proper retirement already...........

I’ve had a lot of hard drives die on me at quite low amounts of use, not sure how come this one is still going lol. I think that it was at 50 degrees for most of its life.

Ok, maybe I got 1 hdd die on me, long ago (I'm 49, I've had a few, currently I own 3).

I asked about temp because I've had my drives get hot a few times, up to 49° for a short period. And it got me worried.
