SMART data on some old drives, can anyone beat my powered-on times?

12 years and 11 months of powered-on time for this SSD… I should definitely turn it on for another month lol

10 years powered-on time for this HDD. Who says HDDs aren’t reliable? 😂

Anyone got better numbers than these?

I just had to replace a 4tb drive with a mfgyr of 2016 from a customer’s Synology box.

I couldn’t get SMART data off it because it wouldn’t initialize to do a test, but the thing was damn reliable right up until it went kaput.
