I have a 128mb maxor drive in my hardware closet. Works fine, just old.
Comment on SMART data on some old drives, can anyone beat my powered-on times?

About a decade ago, I did some contract work for a local credit union upgrading some of their systems and one of their secondary servers had an old Maxtor drive that had over 31 years of uptime on it. It was wild because at the time, that drive had been running constantly longer than I had been alive.

Right on. One of the first computer parts I ever owned personally was a 40GB Maxtor drive, right before or around the time Seagate bought them. I can’t remember how it happened, but at some point the raw drive was dropped down a flight of stairs. Worked just fine for several more years before finally failing.

Fuuuukkkk…
Longer uptime than you’d been alive!
That’s legit the only reason I still remember it. I had just turned 30 a few weeks beforehand, and it had at least a year and a few months on me.
