Note - Drive will not include the server tray shown in picture.
If you are looking at the SMART data, you will notice this drive has 41,448 power-on hours (approximately 4.7 years). However, this drive was used exclusively as a Chia farming drive.
In Chia farming, once the initial data (plots) is written to the drive, the workload drops to near-zero. The drive simply remains powered on and performs very occasional, microscopic read operations to check for proofs. It has not been subjected to the heavy, continuous read/write thrashing typical of enterprise database servers, heavy NAS usage, or standard desktop environments. The high hour count purely reflects uptime, while the actual mechanical wear on the actuator arm and read/write heads is exceptionally light.
