How on earth did this HDD make it to 33k power ons? It looks like it's time to retire it, too, unless I run some disk repair utility to eke out a few thousand more hours.

Post your dying or long-lived HDDs

Didn't want this thread to die without a response. Nice, op. Now what are you doing on a Saturday night posting pictures of your hdd stats? Are you lonely? Need a friend?

That's not an SSD, you fucking retard.
>>
>>56988324
Well the spinpoint P series are really good then

I just saw 250gb and assumed nobody would be using such a tiny HDD on /g/
>>
>>56988352
You just saw 250 GB and ignored the fact that SSDs didn't even exist 9 goddamn years ago ?
>>
>>56988364
Yes, I am retarded after all
>>
>>56988211
So? I have a HDD with 2074 days and 7 hours powered on time. 356 power cycles.

The 33k means your turn your computer on and off so much it makes you look retarded.
>>
>>56988323
desu senpai at this point I'm just keeping it around to see how long it'll last.
Hoping for 100k hours :^)

This is an old image and I don't use these two anymore, but I do have a WDC Blue with somewhere around same number of hours that I still use.

Sad thing about HDDs is that if you take them out of active use, they tend to die after a while.. but I really have nothing to do with these.
>>
>>56988555
It's sad that those are so new too
>>
Windows itself turns off the hard drive to save power when it feels it isn't needed, so it is power cycled more than what you yourself turn on and off your computer
>>
I have an actual IBM "DeathStar" 60GXP with about 92K hours on it, has 1 bad sector, still works but it's not attached to anything at the moment.

Not all of 'em were defective.
>>
Can't even remember when I bought this thing. At least 4 or 5 years ago.
>>
>>56988555
>50,000 hours
>118 and 116 power-ons
Jesus christ dude let your drives turn off when they've been idle long enough

Drive has been in use for 68 months.

I swear I didn't mean to download the faggot version of Crystal Disk
>>
>>56988211
if the motors are fine, the bearings are fine and the heads are fine spinrite might be able to help the disk.

But in reality, the smart data is totally useless, if you arnt having performance issues or unless there is critical data on the drive you can just keep using it.
