Every single HDD I've ever had is still in use or is waiting to be put into use (Don't have enough hard drive bays need Norco 4224 case).
So yes, like Cerb said, I expect to use it for a LONG LONG time.
Storage is storage...
I couldn't begin to count the number of old hard drives I've had that I've outgrown or that died out of warranty. They get either sold, given away or recycled.
Storage is storage, but most people have only so much room for hard drives. Even if I had almost infinite room for putting hard drives into active servers, I'd much rather be using (for instance) five 4 TB drives rather than twenty 1 TB drives.
