Their life and health are clear at a glance. If the overall health is good and normal, it means that it can be used normally. If it is a warning, it will not be long.
Of course, there are also estimation methods, and the key point is (09) cumulative power-on time. Generally speaking, the life of mechanical hard disk is generally more than 3 years. Even if it is not closed for 24 hours, it will reach 26,000 hours in three years. As the picture shows, the author has 60,000 hard disks, but there is still no problem. Users can take the warranty time of the hard disk as their maximum service life, and then subtract the accumulated power-on time, which is considered as the expected life.

However, it should be noted that the biggest damage of mechanical hard disk is not long-term power-on, but accidental power-off and download suspension. As for physical injury, I won't say much about it.
Let's talk about the life of SSD.
It is generally believed that the life of solid-state hard disk is indeed shorter than that of mechanical hard disk. For example, Samsung's EVO warranty period is about 5 years, and the specific time is 3 years. The time between failures is about 6.5438+0.0000 hours.
To check the amount of SSD writing, it is usually recommended to use CrystalDiskInfo, AIDA64 or the tools provided by the brand.
