Post highest hours HDD you have for the end of 2022

[marcoi]

Storage prices are starting to go down, so i am working on retiring some spinning disks with newer models. I though it be fun to see what others have on their drives. So post away.

MY WD shucked 8TB drive just hit 2023 day lol. It will end up in cold storage unit for long term backups etc.

 

[BoredSysadmin]

have you slightly beat. E08B hours = 2395 days, but this isn't 24/7 running nas, but some old HD in my desktop.

 

[Dave Corder]

Built the first iteration of my TrueNAS system using a handful of 2 TB SATA disks. A bunch of them are still kickin' years later in the current iteration of it (several MB/CPU and chassis upgrades later).



79779 hrs = 9 years, 1 month, & change

 

[CyklonDX]

75588h = 8.63 years

 

[marcoi]

those are some long lasting drives lol.

 

[T_Minus]

We just powered down a (SuperMicro) system with 15K RPM SAS drives with ~ 80,000 POHs I wish I had the exact # of hours it likely will be never higher in the future

 

[CyklonDX]

most often system/hardware errors (bad ram, cpu etc), prematurely kill the drives.
While defective disks die much earlier in life; After couple thousand hours, they most often can go until materials inside start to degrade. Caps bulging, motor wearing out etc... most degradation is stop start cycles.

I can't compete with the length of time some of you have but in 2012 I changed the 500 Gb drive out of our mail server. It had about 45K hours but only 5 power cycles. I took it home and used it for another couple of years in an external case.

 

[BackupProphet]

I just decommissioned a bunch of Seagate 2TB drives from 2011, 80-90000 hours. I figured it wasn't worth the energy cost anymore. I do have a 500GB WD caviar blue running on one of my offsite backup servers with..... 102186 hours. That is almost 12 years

 

[Marjan]

WDRed 1TB over 61000 PoH, no issues...yet

 

[i386]

wd red 10tb:

29186 hours

 

[acquacow]

I'd have to pull the HDD in my TiVo to get SMART info on it... it's been running 24x7 for over 10 years. My NVR would be second to that at around 8 years... It's a 4TB WD Purple that's been written to 24x7 by 8 cameras. Can't access SMART from the NVR itself, have to pull the drive.

 

[Glock24]

Intel SSD 320 80GB used as Proxmox boot drive. 81k+ power on hours.

 

[ttabbal]

Thought it might be fun to check. Now I'm thinking I should get a backup drive ordered. 2TB spinner.

 

[TonyArrr]

Have a 2012 Mac Mini with 82077 on it's SSD
Apparently that last SMART tests were when it was at 9831 hours. Probably should check that

Something isn't adding up here. I've been running 4x of these HGST SAS 4TB drives 24x7 since I built my 1st server in early 2018. They were used when I bought them (2014 build date). Why don't I see 70,000+ hours? FYI, I ran SMART short test yesterday...which shows at 1487 hours. Today it is showing 1502 hours. I certainly didn't do anything to zero out the hours and even if the previous seller did, it should show at least 40k hours

its possible it went over allowed bit-space and just zero'd itself out (or other point/s in smart data overwrote this value when it grew too big.) or just isn't reading correctly.

I have a few 2TB Seagate Barracuda XT drives that definitely overflowed SMART values. First, Power On Hours looped back to zero after 65,536 (2^16). Then, a year or so later, the number of reallocated sectors, pending sectors, and uncorrectable read errors skyrocketed despite regular usage & ZFS scrubs not indicating any issues. I assume overflowing values started corrupting neighboring values and screwing things up. They were retired for larger drives but, if it had tracked properly, should have had over 11 years of power-on-hours (and barely any power cycles).

 

[tinfoil3d]

I've had disks that were powered on constantly for 9+ years but since been retired so can't pull the data off those, but isn't that common for some drives to run for decades?
I also have MB and PSUs that run for longer than that, with between 0 to 2 power cycles a year. Power cycling any devices seems to be one of the most common times you encounter a failure?

 

[CyklonDX]

yep. it also when items wear out the most electrically. (during power on)
(if you had oscilloscope to view it you would see big spike on all parts.)
