List of power on hours in my home server. 3 drives with ~10 years of power on hours. In a zfs array for temp data. WD Reds refuse to quit.

Lucky they weren’t Seagate’s. They were impacted hard by the Floods those years. That said, I used to be a WD fanboy since HD space was $1/1MB. I don’t think there’s as much difference between them anymore.

I got one HGST with now almost 11 years. And some WD Reds with 9 to 10 years. They run now in a Helios 64 which I use to store DVD and BluRay backups before they get tagged correctly and moved to my Plex storage pool.
