List of power on hours in my home server. 3 drives with ~10 years of power on hours. In a zfs array for temp data. WD Reds refuse to quit. (alien.top)

I've been carrying along these 3TB WD reds for many years now. I finally transitioned my prod dataset off of them earlier this year but wanted to see how long they'll go. 3 drives in a temp dataset (Linux isos) keep going like the Energizer bunny. Who else has some ridiculously long PoH droves still in service?

My prod data is in a raid Z2 array and has 2x off-site backups done nightly. The 3TBs are used in low risk things like temp data storage or my NVR.

Same here. I have I think 3x3tb wd red in my UnRAID setup. About to add a second parity drive as I'm getting paranoid bc some of my array drives are pretty aged. All of which are wd. Adding 6TB WD Gold Parity drive next.
