The date on my dead drive is April 2011. Not too bad for a WD RE drive.
I have noticed that Windows Defender likes to constantly do background
scanning. I'm sure that adds some wear on HDDs. I have a WD Black 2TB
drive in my PC at home. That's a noisy SOB. I can definitely tell when
Defender starts scanning.

I have been seeing a high instance of windows 10 upgrades having drive
failures, the upgrade has the 100 percent disk usage issue more
prevalent than the straight installation. I think its just increasing
the spin time on the drives faster than normal, Ive seen it on 2-6
year old drives, the six year old drives i expect to fail anyway

Yeah. But why would that have anything to do with it? The drive
obviously failed.

WTF, is this fail Thursday? The HDD in my office PC went tits
up today too. Nope, no drive detected on that SATA port and
won't spin up. OMG. Swapped the board out from another
identical drive. Hey, it's detected now! Nope, clink, clank
and it spins down.
250GB WD RE4 that ran for 5 or 7 years straight. I forget
when I built that machine. I had most of the stuff on it
except for some scripts and config files and a few really old
pictures that are kind of irrelevant now anyway. Oh well.

Agreed.
Software Storage FTW. (ZFS, Ceph, GlusterFS, etc)

Well, RAID is obsolete. You shouldn't even be running
RAID controllers with ZFS, only HBAs. The file system
is far more intelligent and capable than a hardware
controller.

If it is for network attached storage I would recommend
against hardware
raid and use btrfs or zfs. I have to many issues with
corrupted raid
information on drives. The advances with these file
systems make raid
almost obsolete.

not sure why. Some of those cards can throw off a lot
of heat and adding fans to the chassis may make sense,
especially if it's a 1U server, many servers don't have
all the fans populated by default and adding 1-2 more
may not cost much.
