If you keep a domestic model running 24x7, you are probably right. But if you just do cold archive, my last check were after around 12 years, all drives spinned up normally without any issue. No noticeable data loss at all.
- lynndotpy 4y agoThis is my experience as well. Out of simple anxiety, I transferred data from a few drives (spanning 2007 to 2015). If there were any issues, neither my file manager nor the SMART status reported any.
