What's the highest POH you've seen on a HD?

[Fritz]

I have a couple with over 69k on them. Was curious as to how long a HD can last.

 

[pricklypunter]

My curiosity usually ends when I hear the bearings fail

 

[nephri]

more than 7 years at 24/24... it's an eternity for an HD !!!!!
mines are at 30K

Looks like my "oldest" continually on drive is a 160GB Samsung which is my OS Drive for my HTPC. The rest are single Drive or Mirrored ZFS Pools.
Hitachi 2TB = 47834

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB = 40574

SAMSUNG HD161HJ 160GB= 65222

WDC WD50EZRX-00MVLB1 5TB = 4194

Hitachi HDS5C3020ALA632 2TB = 41281

WDC WD30EZRX-00D 3TB = 11199

Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 2TB = 31252

 

[TuxDude]

Looks like my oldest is sitting at 63924, and I have a lot of them in my media server in the low 40k's

My oldest drive I've bought from new is a 500gb Samsung that is about 10 years old with like 33000 hours. My workplace sold us some decommissioned Sun branded Hitachi 2tb drives a while back. The two I checked had over 55000 hours on them but the impressive figure was the power on count: 7...

 

[mstone]

WD blue @ 53k and a 2.5" Seagate momentus @ 58k. I've had longer running drives, but I don't know if they tracked power on hours that long ago.

It looks like my disks are relatively young! 18.3K POH for the largest one.

I have a lot that are as old as the box they are in.
A cluster in the 65k ballpark,
250GB ST3250620NS= 64660
300GB ST3300822SCE = 66972

The oldest drives I can't get smartctl to work with since they are old 200G PATA drives on ancient boxes (FC3 or worse)

 

[mackle]

Highest POH I have is 72,480 on a mid-2005 era 300GB WD3000JD-00KLB0.

That drive started life as an external HDD and then as the system drive of my old workstation. In both capacities it's been on pretty much 24/7 until Christmas 2015, since then it's been used as cold storage...

My three remaining Seagate drives from that system (ST3100528AS) are at ~57,000 each.

If it operated at its rated 8.75w that WD drive has nearly consumed 600KwH's of energy over its lifetime thus far!
