12 years and 11 months of powered-on time for this SSD… I should definitely turn it on for another month lol
10 years powered-on time for this HDD. Who says HDDs aren’t reliable? 😂
Anyone got better numbers than these?

I just hope you’ve got backups 🙂
Seriously though, we found an old Dell server at work that hadn’t been rebooted for years.
We knew that it was fine whilst it was running, but the stress of a reboot would finish it off with all those POST fan speed tests, RAID array tests, etc.
We took as much data off it that we thought might be relevant and rebooted it.
1 drive failed immediately. 1 fan must’ve had all the dust as that blew out a cloud during the fullspeed test.
A few days later more drives started failing and it just gradually died.
It was actually a sad day when we powered it off for the last time. 🥲
No, it died not from the reboot.
It died because it’s life had no meaning anymore, after you had taken all the workload off it.
