Hard drive?
Should I replace this hard drive? How many hours of operation does an HDD typically last?
FYI: This hard drive is 19 years old.
thanks in advance

Hello, my main hard drive with Windows on it (Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB) It's completely full and I wanted to delete a lot of data because otherwise something keeps crashing. The storage settings also show me that a lot of GB of installed apps are taking up space, but I can't find where…
Good USB hub?
Hello folks! I am looking for an external hard drive for my gaming laptop as a storage extension to store my games on. https://www.mediamarkt.at/de/product/_seagate-5tb-festplatte-firecuda-hdd-extern-usb-32-gen-1-rgb-led-schwarz-1844916.html?utm_term=3430&utm_source=google&utm_medium= cpc&utm_campaign=rt_shopping_na_nsp_na_SFBO-Pmax-F-Base&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2-2eBhClARIsA GLQ2RnAWZ1NpWKdN3EpLK_TqCS85cmVOcEnOLuBz8Mg3kd5gV-9yzkwUPYaAlfJEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds I think that would be quite good, but I would also need a suitable USB hub to connect my mouse, headset and hard drive to it.

Why is my steam download at 0 k/bit?
I recently treated myself to a new game and wanted to download it straight away. It started normally but after 2 minutes the download sank to 500 k/bit, then to zero and nothing worked anymore. I restarted Steam but it didn't help. It can't be the internet because I actually have a normal connection, so…

Hi!
I professionally manage the professional data recovery and unfortunately cannot agree with the others here.
A 19-year-old hard drive is urgent to exchange.
Although the old models are actually more robust than modern hard drive, it should not be forgotten that the hard drives are NOT airtight and the air filter is full sooner or later (depending on ambient conditions).
As soon as dust comes into the interior of the hard drive it can be past a headcrash in a few seconds.
In addition, in the models, the bearing is worn by the motor so that it no longer rotates.
Always make backups and my recommendation would be as a fist formula to replace a modern hard drive after at least 5 years of age.
At the end, however, it depends on the model and on the outside conditions.

Thank you for the detailed answer

I wouldn’t replace the plate until it’s broken. Age in itself doesn’t matter. On the other hand, wear and bad bearing conditions are very good.
I occasionally sit in front of PCs from the 90s that still work best with their original hard disks.
In terms of operating hours, no statement can be made. Depending on the model, the values vary greatly.
However, what is an indication of high wear for all hard drives is the high number of turn-on cycles. In your case, however, is not the case given the age of the plate.
With regular backups you can still neglect the age of the hard drive.
This is quite different as many operating hours a HDD stops that is very different but in your case you don’t need to replace it but still keep an eye on it because 19 years is already an ornamental age for ne hard drive ðŸTM‚
If it still works properly, you don’t need to swap it. I don’t think she’s the fastest at the age. Because of life, this is quite different. But 19 years is already super
