How long has the hard disk in your computer been used?

According to the info I have from CrystalDisk Info this is my drive..

Powered on 1864 power on events
Operating Hours 6471 hours

It's gonna die one day and I am prepared..

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

Oh wow OK I am panicking because the number seems large....   Out of interest what tools did you use to get the figures?

Thinly veiled e-peen thread confirmed

The HDD I currently use has:

891 Power on counts.

3184 Power on hours.

 

Not very much. But it is only about 10 months old.

 

 

Also your HDD is going to die regardless. Whether it's on once a day for an hour a day. Or 4 times a day for 6 hours a day. Or once, all day. It's a mechanical device, the platters spin and information is physically written on them. Failure is inevitable. But most HDD's now a days have a 4-5 year life-span before they start becoming faulty.

the HDD in my old PC was active for ~7300 hours in ~15 months. dont have HDDs in my current PC, too slow and loud

I know but I had never looked at the actual figures.   I only installed that disk program very recently..   BTW what did you use to get your drive figures?

 

And mybudgee  this isn't meant to be an E Peen thread..

[bEVEsthda]

Back when MTBF was measured, it was usually around a million hours. But that didn't work out in practice, as MTBF got drastically reduced as the drive got older. These days CDL (component design life) is measured, and it's usually around 5 years. I'm supposing that is as turned on and running, 5y = 43 800 hours.

 

But any harddrive can fail at any time. There are no guarantees.

4518 hours for my main storage drive. Just over a year and a half worth of usage.

well, now it is: i have 2 512GB SSDs.

sorry, but i couldnt resist

Hard drive's and refrigerators don't have legs?

the same you did, CrystalDiskInfo

actually thats half a year, a year has 8760 hours

[Simfam]

Around 19 years.

Oh cool ...

 

I thought this wasn't a well known program.

[vometia]

Dunno.  My server has 10 400GB Deathstars I bought in early 2008 which have been running constantly since then, except for occasional power cuts and stuff.  Miraculously, none have failed yet, though I'm using RAID-6 as I've had enough experiences of having my data pwned to go through all that again.

 

Edit: about 65,000 hours each, apparently.  But my understanding is that the biggest risk is starting and stopping, and they haven't done much of that.

How long has your hard drive been running?

Well... you better go catch it!

[Commander Rpg]

The PC I had since 1998, brand new, and ended scrapped in 2005, must have seen pretty bad times on the hard drive. In never failed and it was most of the time on.

[bmwcrazy]

My HTPC has been on constantly for about three years.

I only shut it down like once every year to dust off.

It has four 3TB Western Digital Red drives.

[bmwcrazy]

well, now it is: i have 2 512GB SSDs.

sorry, but i couldnt resist

I have two 1TB SSD for my main gaming PC (850 Pro and 840 Evo), but I still need four 4TB Black on RAID 0 to store my porn...I mean important personal documents.

[vometia]

RAID 0

[themikefest]

I've been using the same hard drive for the last 8 years

[Draining Dragon]

It's been running for five years, and it'll keep running if it knows what's good for it. If I ever catch that hard drive, it'll wish it had never been born. I'll show it what happens to hardware that tries to rip off the Double D.

My very first pc was built in 1995 and died in 2006. Same hard drive too it was a Conner 425mb IDE drive and when it started to make clicky noises I knew the end was near...  

 

That had 4 platters inside it..  The controller board also had a lot of chips. Not like today just 2 or 3 large VLSI chips.

[SwobyJ]

I have a SSD and HDD for almost 4 years.

 

I'll be getting new ones ASAP, once I decide I have the funds to put towards it.

 

There's been no issues. In fact, it seems that only my GPU (same age) has been having occasional failures, but that's been since the start.

 

I really need to replace my monitor though, above all else. It fails all the time, and I have to play with the cords to get it working again.

 

My whole PC is in for a progressive redo over this year, or more likely 2016. Gotta get ready for MEA after all!
