Long LIfespan

[piroska]

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?

that is a pretty good life for a HDD, at that age it was probably sata2 so due an upgrade...

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.
