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?

    About a decade ago, I did some contract work for a local credit union upgrading some of their systems and one of their secondary servers had an old Maxtor drive that had over 31 years of uptime on it. It was wild because at the time, that drive had been running constantly longer than I had been alive.

        Right on. One of the first computer parts I ever owned personally was a 40GB Maxtor drive, right before or around the time Seagate bought them. I can’t remember how it happened, but at some point the raw drive was dropped down a flight of stairs. Worked just fine for several more years before finally failing.
