Exellent program worked out how many hours my computer has done since I had it ( drive is origional fitment)
Drive is Fujitsu MHT2080AT in Fujitsu Amilo D 1840W Approx 7yrs old.
Power on 2203 , hours 15,400 works out at about 2,500 a year as its had hardly any use for last 18months. Now It cost more that alot of laptops did at the time but now I can see why as the only thing I have changed is added 512Mb memory!

in my 24/7 server:
120GB Western Digital: on 33588 hours, 237 power cycles
160GB Seagate : on 16054 hours, 409 power cycles
500GB Hitachi Deskstar: on 19034 hours, 128 power cycles
500GB Western Digital : on 3215 hours, 30 power cycles

all look good, plan to eventually replace the seagate mainly because i got it used and I dont like how seagates use some of the smart data (ie raw read error rates being a bogus value) – other than that, drives used daily – all temps average between 32-37 deg C – i think anything over 40 is a no no

My Raptor has done 8451 hours.

interesting that my greenpower drive run’s a degree hotter than my raptor, but quite good when you factor that the green power is a 4 platter 1Tb drive the Raptor is of course single platter 36Gb drive.

Don’t need no steenkin software to tell me :)

My harddrives are 24/7. That’s also why I no longer buy Western Digitals. They just plain sucks – built to crash.
