Hours on hard drive

Just wondering what people have on their hard drives, and how many people have a drive older than mine.

I'll start things off; you can use smartctl (from smartmontools), Intel SSD Tools, or CrystalDiskInfo, or any other tool you like, just as long as it tells the number of hours as read from SMART. Please also include the drive model number as well.:

Code: 
Model Family:     Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 family
Device Model:     ST3500630A
  9 Power_On_Hours          0x0032   060   060   000    Old_age   Always       -       [B]35714[/B]

Only post if your drive has a higher number of run-time hours. I'm kind of interested in seeing if we have anyone with drives in the 80k+ hour range, since SMART has been available on ATA drives for the past 10 years now...

I copied this line from HDD sentinal for my old Maxtor D740X 40GB ide drive it's model Maxtor 6L040J2 & is still in service

9, Power On Time Count, 1, 39, 39, OK, 40195, 0, Enable

It was the 1st generation hard drive from Maxtor with FDB and was based on a Quantam design right after Maxtor bought Quantam.

The drive got repuposed and is now in an old desktop PC used for websurfing 🙂

So 40195 hours, just a bit more than yours, 4.58847031965269 years 🙂
 
This is my main drive in my XP machine. I have two of these, and rotate them every week. This is what Crystal Disk Info says:
