My latest Seagate HDD longevity report
An ST2000DM001 that has clocked up a smidgeon under 5 years (3 years
longer than its warranty) of 24/7/365 operation in my FreeNAS machine has just reported 2968 unreadable sectors. It has been replaced by an ST2000DM006. Perce |

It has been replaced by an ST2000DM006. Perce I have an ST3100524AS with 2332 days on it--6.38 yrs. SMART says it is still operating at 100% with no bad sectors. It is the C drive on a Dell system. I also have an HDS724040ALE640 with 2237 hours on it--6.12+ years. SMART says it is still operating at 100% with no bad sectors. Two newer Hitachi 4TB drives are each 2+yrs old (800+ hrs on each) and I reasonably expect them to also last into the 2000+hour range. Hopefully, there will be new large capacity storage in the next few years that will permit the addition of 100+TB to 1+PB volumes. |

It has been replaced by an ST2000DM006. My ST2000DM006 lasted exactly 4 months, with HDSentinel giving it 100% health. Then the controller burnt and it became scrap. BIOS could no longer see it. Since I keep patient's records on the disk, I couldn't hand it in on warranty. So I got a Western Digital 2GB Blue. Bit slower, but working OK. It's "luck of the draw".

Another of those bought at the same time and used in the same machine is still running without errors. Perce |

Another of those bought at the same time and used in the same machine is still running without errors. That last-mentioned drive showed some errors, then within a couple of days was no longer recognized. No data loss, thanks to RaidZ2. It's been replaced by another STD2000DM006. Perce |
