Has anyone ever had drives that lasted for decades?
  • I bought maybe 100-120 HDDs of all brands and capacities since ~2001 and I believe 3 of them have failed so far:
    - One 2 TB WD Black from ~2010 died after 3-4 years (one out of 20)
    - One 2 TB WD Red from ~2012 died in 2021 (one out of 10)
    - One 8 TB Seagate Exos (NLSAS) from ~2018 died recently (one out of 10)

    All others are still spinning or have been retired due to their small size. In particular, eight of the 2 TB Reds are still in the server which is sitting in a dusty, wet, and cold garage. As I said, one has died, and one is a cold spare that has 0 hours despite being made more than 10 years ago.
