Agreed about the lifespan part. I have a WD Blue from 2009 that's still working today (although hasn't been used a lot).My 90% hdds are used ones bought either from here, friends or office (but were under warranty) so no issues. Just replaced ones within warranty and no issues..touch wood! Working great for years and even decades.
Sadly current gen hdds fail either within 3-5yrs and are no match for durability which yesteryear hdds used to offer.
And I still have a 320gb WD blue bought in 2020 here itself used one and using it daily since that year..going so strong as if bought just recently. Just unplugged her on 30th June to make way for another 1tb.Agreed about the lifespan part. I have a WD Blue from 2009 that's still working today (although hasn't been used a lot).
That's nice. Hoping I can find some good deals on some drives. I have a total of 170gb free across a total of 2.5TB of drives lol.And I still have a 320gb WD blue bought in 2020 here itself used one and using it daily since that year..going so strong as if bought just recently.
