  • 2026-04-04 Note: I've got three of these, but I can only find an Amazon order for one (order#203-6721030-9941150--the earlier order#202-5215396-9390752 was returned/refunded probably because as it had 11 Ravensbourne Court as the address). I don't know which one came from this order, so I've just duplicated the price and acquired dates.

    • Status: The "Centenarian" (Monitor Closely)
    • Power-On Hours: 99,869 (~11.4 years).
    • Condition: Remarkable for its age, but at the end of its life.
    • Key Metrics:
      • Load_Cycle_Count: 439,201 (WD Greens are rated for 300k, so its well over).
      • Raw_Read_Error_Rate: 1. This is non-zero, indicating very minor read retries.
    • Note: Running for over 11 years straight is incredible. While it has 0 pending sectors, a drive this old can suffer mechanical failure (motor/bearings) without warning. Do not make this your only copy of critical data.
