What is your Power On Hours Count?

Just putting up some info on my WD Black 500GB that's going on MM shortly and noticed the power on hours count...Now I rarely turn my PC off so the disks have been spinning almost constantly (which is a good thing really for lifespan

). I was a little surprised I'd been running them so long!

Only been powered down 286 times too :eek:

All the drives were bought at the same time in October 2009.

If the SSD can last that long I will be mighty impressed

Its probably not _that_ accurate prolly within about 10% and also its likely the drive had some testing by the manufacturer before it was sold which is usually a fair few hours.

Actually thinking back, it did have about 500 hours (I can't remember exactly) on it when I got it as I always run new drives through HDtune.
