Long LIfespan - piroska - 01-12-2023
I thought my MB is doing well,13 years and not even the battery has needed replacing yet, but this morning my HDD died.
The backup thankfully, but when replacing it, I noted the date:
2009. 14 years so that was the oldest piece of hardware I had.
A Seagate sata. Still can't complain about that lifespan, can we?

Upgrade to what? LOL. The motherboard it was plugged into is 13 years old. Don't think I want to replace all that just for a drive...

Throw in an SSD, that will make it sit up and take a bit of Notice.
