What's the longest-running HDD you have???

Discuss or get help with HDDs here. And yes, SSDs go in this category too.

A DTLA-307020. With no bad sectors.
Information is far more fragile than the HDDs it's stored on. Being an afterthought is no excuse for a bad product.

My PC: Core i3 4130 on GA‑H87M‑D3H with GT640 OC 2GiB and 2 * 8GiB Kingston HyperX 1600MHz, Kingston SA400S37120G and WD3003FZEX‑00Z4SA0, Pioneer BDR‑209DBKS and Optiarc AD‑7200S, Seasonic G‑360, Chenbro PC31031, Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3.

Now there are six of them, but that's because I connected it with a 40-wire cable to deliberately limit the interface speed to test its efficiency (in terms of raw bandwidth compared to actual data transferred), and although the hosts are designed to restrict the speed when running with a 40-wire cable, they apparently don't limit it enough. Still flawless otherwise.

Also, I figured out how Samsungs report their runtime and updated the original post.

Okay, it's a bit of an arbitrary thing to mention, but I bet you've never seen it before.

Update: As I have seldom used my ST3120026A, one of the WD800JD-00LSA0s in my older system has overtaken it in runtime, with 37,230 hours as of now (though only 728 start/stops). The other has 32,128 hours and 1,375 start/stops. S.M.A.R.T. records on both are clean save for one UDMA CRC error each.
