I had a WD Black which ran for 10 years straight without breaking a sweat. It first ran as a boot disk for Windows Vista, and then became a game drive for Windows 10.
The drive continued to work, but I retired it as write speeds dropped to 2MB/s while writes dropped to 60MB/s. It was definitely asking for retirement.

Great, so there’s still plenty of years left on my 2tb wd blue HDD. I bought it in 2016, and it’s still working now. Good to know
