'Enterprise' HDDs : Share your power_on_hours stats and horror stories

HGST is probably in the "can't go wrong" category according to backblaze datadumps.

But since they're pricey and hard to get a hold of , what kind of powered_on_hours are you/providers here seeing from other brands of Enterprise HDD like:

Toshiba, Constellations, WD-RE3,REr, others

If members/providers could paste your model#/batch and powered_on_hours from your colo/rental servers from Hetzner, online, kimsufi , ovh, etc that would be useful for future decision-making via Google.

Also mention the hours at which you know a particular brand+model failed in the past for you. (especially silent deaths without proper SMART feedback )

Don't share stats of consumer models like seagate barracuda,momentus, WD blue, black, etc

Don't paste entire smartctl output, just the relevant model name+id and power_on_hours value
EDIT: and Reallocated_Sector_Ct value if non-zero.

else if you just have anecdotes about crazy long runtime hours with a particular model, go ahead and share. It could help people searching for it on Google

All entries in this thread should be taken as anecdotal and the sampling size is nowhere near that of Backblaze.

    Power_On_Hours:

    1. 34739

    2. 34855

    3. 34739

    4. 34856

    Four years in average. Are they too old?

    I see big numbers on Seek_Error_Rate, Raw_Read_Error_Rate and Hardware_ECC_Recovered. Not sure what that means.

    Reallocated_Sector_Ct is 0.

    HDD poweron number never bothers me. I actually like higher numbers. With HDD, you can sort of predict when it's gonna fail.

    Now, SSD scares me because they just go out with a 98 year-old grandma.

    ... Company I worked for, and wasn't the server admin.

    So we had our most important server, which contained most of our important information, running on RAID 5. This was done via a HP controller. Everything seemed fine over the years, and then one day we noticed a hard drive showing a red light. I reported this, but nothing was done for like 200+ days or something. At the time I didn't know we were running raid 5 on this server either. So finally the server admin got the hard drive, and the gumption to install the replacement hard drive.

    ... I think we all know what comes next, a second hard drive failure during the rebuild process. Instantly he panics, and starts an angry mutter. Don't worry guys we have backups, right? Well... while he waited for the rebuild to of course, fail and ran around panicking. Attempting to search for those "backups" on his custom solution.

    In all thankfulness we did have those backups. Things we going to be good, and that would have been the close of our story. Assuming of course anyone tested those backups. Of course they weren't good, and had to restore to a backup almost 4 months out of date. So now my server admin is even more jaded. New hard drives were bought, and out went the long process of rebuilding the whole array, and data on it.

    Did I mention he did this on the last day of a holiday, and people would be back the next day? Don't worry, it only took us like a month to get things back in order.

    And now... you know why you have; replacement hard drives on hand for crucial systems, backups, tested backups, and time to properly rebuild an array.

    Not sure if Spinpoints fall under Enterprise.
    I have a Spinpoint F1 and F3 too under my desktop's hood. (one is 7200rpm and 5400rpm. I forget which F'x' is which)

    I'd call them prosumer drives at best. (better than the rubbish seagate was putting out in 2009-2012 )

    They're haven't had a single re-allocated sector yet (only 2yrs power_on_hours though)

    Some of those "rubbish" Seagate drives are actually pretty good. I have one from around that era with 53,000 hours on it and it is still going strong.

    Here's a list of all the enterprise drives from boxes that I rent including a couple running in my basement. I'll preface this by saying, I've yet to have a drive fail on me yet, so can't advise as to which are the most reliable, etc. No drives below have any reallocated sectors.
