I am just curious as to the average life span of a hard drive. I have defraggler open in the PC my parents use. It is an old Dell PC with Windows XP, and a Single-Core AMD CPU. It has a 80 GB Samsung HD080HJ/P Hard Drive in it. Defraggler says the drive is in good health and has a temperature of 40 Degrees Celsius. Here is some of the info it gives about the drive.
Spin-Up Time: 4416 ms
Start/Stop Count: 7,947
Power-On-Hours (POH): 2831d 8h
Power Cycle Count: 4,183
That is almost 8 years of Power On Time. I'm quite certain this is the original hard drive that came with the PC. How many hours is the most you have seen on a hard drive? Is this one about to go ka-poot? If you have any questions about this PC, comment and I will answer them! So, how many hours have you seen on a HDD?
