My oldest remaining drive is a 1tb Western Digital WD10EADS Caviar Green, it's been powered on for 5069 days 21 hours or 19 years! It's lived through being in a RAID5 array, Windows Home Server Pool, Drive Bender and now DrivePool! I did have some 1tb IBM drives too only 1 out of 4 of those failed, the other three I simply removed to make space for newer/bigger disks. ROCK SOLID! I don't have may 4tb drives - I did, but they failed very quickly! Some got swapped under warranty, then failed again. I seem to remember a bit of a scandal, not the performance SMR one... but a design flaw or something.
