So they can sell memes like SSDs

You can only spin them so many times. Kind of like my heart.

Imagin being THAT poor

>he doesn't refrigerate his hdds

>he doesn't refrigerate and liquid cool his hdds

That's not an expiration date. That is just looking at the overall health and estimating it will die. Since it is so healthy, it cannot give a real estimate so it just says longer than X days.

do you need a hug?

Should have gotten a SSD.

everything does
including you

1337+487=1824
1825 days is 5 years. It's just estimating that HDDs last 5 years in average.

That lines up. 3 years of use, at least another 2 remaining. Most physical drives can be expected to last about 5 years. Of course many will last longer, but 5 is the norm.

>estimated
well done OP

Keep in mind, this estimates 487 days of on time. as in if you use it 8 hours per day that's another 1,461 of real days left or 4 more years.

All hard drives will die as the fail curve bathtub becomes more like a rock climbing wall over time

5 years estimate
maybe for your Seagates and Wds. Samsungs and Hitachis master race

Hitachi is owned by WD and not immune to the laws of physics

how can I check it?
hw info only shows percents

Samsung seems to be tho, I have some 40GB IDE drives and they don't even have bad blocks after all these years.

You don't write to them, at least if you aren't insane.
A typical drive will last about 6 years of use, and probably a few more if you chance it.

I use them like 5-6 times in a month. They are fine.

HD Sentinel

>500 day
user that's like 5 years or so, no one runs his HDD all day.

>That's not an expiration date. That is just looking at the overall health and estimating it will die.

Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!

>no one runs his HDD all day

and anybody who owns a nas does as well

>he doesn't set his drives to spin down when not in use.

Lower the capacity, lower the drive life. Get a 970 Pro or something if you want longevity
