Hard to say. I have an old 20GB 4200rpm IBM that is still alive. Got it when P3 pa ang top of the line.

Its now used as a usb drive for back ups. I have 2 other drives a Samsung and a Hitachi, both are over 2 years old and still working great.

probably depends on your usage and voltage stability/fluctuations?

The Hitachi 2.5" 40gb 5400rpm hdd in my laptop's still alive. I bought the laptop in 2003 and replaced the slow 4200rpm hdd with the faster Hitachi.

Here's also a couple of external hard drives I use. The Crossfire in the background is a firewire enclosure with a 3.5" 120gb WD 7200rpm hdd. I also bought it back in 2003.

The one in the foreground is a DIY usb2 enclosure. I picked it because its circuitry is good enough to make it as quick as my firewire hdd. Inside is a 2.5" 60gb WD 5400rpm hdd. I got in 2004.....er nope. I got it in 2005.

My very first laptop's hard disk (Fujitsu Lifebook LB100), I think, is still alive. Bought it in 1999. Gamit yata ng mother-in-law ko now.

ewan ko ba nadedo etong WD scorpio ko after 3 days of not using my lappy ayun no boot device na, dvdrw na lng nadetect.. balik ko na lng sa original na hitachi na medyo maingay...

madaling uminit ung WD scorpio kay sa hitachi na original with the package..

Check mo muna yung hard drive baka lumuwag lang. Happened to me before. If its connected properly to the laptop, you can go to Western Digital's website and download a disk checking utility. I think its called lifeguard. Or you can try Seagates Seatools disk diagnostic software, downloadable form seagate.
