Post your hard drive Power On hours!

The system drive of my home server, it has been running 24/7 since I bought it, but it has been slotted in various machines over the years (at least 4) and wasn't always used for the OS.

It's all SSDs in that box (due to noise levels - server is in my living space, but also performance: very very frequently accessed drives + 2.5G Lan). Two of the other drives are somewhat old too (60000 and 55000 hours, one Crucial 2TB and one Samsung 2TB).

I was going to replace the system drive (for size, and also to free a SATA port) but of course plans have changed now. All the data is backed up multiple times including offline, but I'd have loved to expand the storage capacity a bit. Oh well, I'm just being more picky about what I keep and doing a whole lot of compression! Turns out 7zip with the right settings and suitable hardware can save a lot of space for some of my data.

I have kept all the HDDs I've ever used in my life, except the 2 that died (and they were young, RIP), but none of them have as many hours as my SSDs do, ironically enough. I think it's a combination of frequent upgrades + those HDD based systems were not used 24/7 except for a handful of them, for a limited time.
