How Long Does a Hard Drive Last?
Hard drives can last for several years without any defect or crash in a few weeks after the purchase. To help you understand how you can predict the lifespan of your drive, Bash has listed the following factors:
- Backblaze’s 2013 study on storage drives states that if a hard drive runs smoothly in the first year of its usage, it is expected to run smoothly for many years without any hassle.
- In general, solid-state hard drives wear out more than hard disc drives as the former has a pre-set read/write speed saved in them, exhaustion of which increases the chances of failure of the device while hard disc drives fail more due to mechanical faults.
- Storing hard drives in spaces that interfere with their magnetic and temperature properties increases the chances of failure and decreases life span; therefore, they should be stored with caution and care.
- Hard drives with low AFR (Annualised Failure Rate), which is the total percentage of device failures with the products manufactured that year, tend to have a longer life span compared to those with high AFR.
- Though most modern storage drives run smoothly and efficiently, Bash’s team still encourages you to make regular back-ups of your data on flash drives or online cloud storage to prevent any data loss.
What Are Signs of Hard Drive Failure?
Storage drives are of two types: hard disk drives and HDD, which use mechanical spinning discs to access data. The other types are solid-state or SSD hard drives that use flash technology to store data on memory chips. Both have similar characteristic failure signs, listed below, which you need to be aware of to prevent any data loss:
- Overheating while running low storage files and applications.
- Abnormal sounds like grinding and clicking were not registered before regular daily use.
- Frequent complete shutdown of the device suddenly without any caution or message display or repeated failure of the system to reboot. This is less common for desktops compared to laptop hard drives.
