How long do your server drives last?
One of my 80G has been running for about 13 months now, and I'm jsut wondering how long a drive with last on a busy *nix server?
I do have a SMART daemon running but I'd still like to hear poeples expericences becasue the kind of traffic we do is a bit more heavy duty than most mainstream sites so I'm asking on GFY instead of a REAL forum. :P Its just a standard IDE WDC WD800BB-00CAA1

alot depends on cooling.
have a backup system in place, and be prepared for it to fail at about 2 years.

You should back up your drive, usually they last 1.5 to 2 yrs.. that's from my experience.
