• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I have a Seagate ST-225 stashed somewhere which was powered on (continuously) for over 20 years running some orphanware that only ran on an XT.
 
I've got a 486 that still works perfectly. Total up-time would most likely be in excess of that because it was used in a business setting for about 15 years and they never shut their computers down. They definitely don't make them like they used to.

It also really depends on how much time your computer spends accessing the disc, not just powered up to cause the disc to fail.
