Can anyone beat my HDD cumulative powered on time?

Hi.

I use GNOME Disk Utility (Disks) to see the cumulated Power On time (I power down every night). My HDD currently is: 2 years, 4 months and 19 days.

Can anyone top this with a HDD / SSD / etc?

Please post your screenshots.

Thanks.

One of my servers has one that has been spinning for a little over eleven years.

I really should replace it someday before it blows up, but for now it keeps trucking along.

Hi ttk.

Man that's a long time. :-)

How long have you had a PC disk running?

I've never owned a Windows machine, but if you mean desktop tower cased systems, looks like my home office workstation's secondary drive has been up for five years, nine months.

Code:
ttk@spork:~> sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb | grep 'Power_On_Hours'
  9 Power_On_Hours          0x0012  093  093  000    Old_age  Always      -      50648
ttk@spork:~> calc '50648 / 24 / 365'
5.78173515981735
ttk@spork:~> calc '(50648 / 24 / 30.4) % 12'

I have a SCSI disk in an Alpha computer that has been here for almost 20 years and stays powered up 24/7.
