1639 days in old money, or about 4.5 years.
Same model as the OPs drive. One of an identical pair from the same batch. Spent about three years in a Firewire enclosure attached to a Mac mini which ran 24x7. Enclosure PSU died for the second time, so got transferred with another slightly newer pair into an HP Microserver running FreeNas, again 24x7. That got upgraded with bigger drives just under a year ago. They're now in a Netgear NAS which is doing Time Machine duties - hence the crappy stats display.
Here's one from the 11 month old Toshiba's that replaced it on NAS duty :

Rock solid!
2x 1Tb WD drives in my little HTPC running Raid 0 both have the same stats
Seems like a lot of Start/Stops compared to everyone else, what is the deal with that?
If I get another 500 days as predicted I guess that is good going since they run a little warm also.

All drives run 24/7.
1TB Samsung 850 Pro. 204hrs so far, haven't had it long. OS, loads of programs and the odd few smallish games.
Seagate 3TB - 2yrs 6 months. Use this one for games.
Seagate 4TB - 915hrs. Used only for films and TV recording.
Seagate 4TB - 916hrs. A backup of my films HDD incase one dies.
These drives below have now been retired due to being to small and are in storage.
WD 2TB Green - 2yrs 5 months. Was used for films, but now to small.
Seagate 2TB - 1yr 9 months. Used this one for games originally, but I replaced it with the 3TB recently.
This one is my oldest and longest running drives so far, and has also been retired. Bought two of these at the same time but the other one died at around 20,000hrs. Suddenly died when rebooting the PC, it was working perfectly at the time, no warning at all. Here one minute gone the next. This one is still going quite strong though.
Samsung 1TB - 4yrs 4 months. Was used as my OS drive until I retired it a long while back.

Interesting program, I been looked for this type of program for years but never found one until now.
Here is screenshot of my hard drive WD 2TB WD2001FASS, surprised it was in perfect health, was been powered on for 558 days and 1 hour.

I think my highest HDD is my Samsung 2TB drive.
Although not huge hours, my 3TB drive is doing well for one power on
The highest hours I have is on my SSD from my HTPC.
I have some old drives around which may have some good hours on them though! Nearly all of my current drives are less than 3 years old so haven't had much time to clock up so many hours.

I will have to pull up some screenshots later
of one WD 160gb drive that has accumulated around 37000 power on hours.
And another seagate 500gb drive that has done around 23000 hours.
