It's the drive firmware. Drive firmware bricks the disk because the disk is soldered into the drive.
It doesn't need to be continuous. Total operation is the metric.
- close04 7y agoI read OP's comment as "if this bug happened to a non-enterprise (regular) user and their drive". A regular user has a lower chance of hitting 4 years of non-continuous operation before discarding the drive due to obsolescence. On a 50% duty cycle (12h/day every day) it would take 6.5 years. That's close to how long many people would hang on to their drives. But even a regular user might have a NAS and that accelerates the process.
