It all looks good. No increase in any errors. BTW those BB drives are sort of the original "black" drives which came with full 5 year warranty if retail back in mid 2000's.
With 17,000 hrs and 6500 start-stops should last you a few years or more as long as you do not move the drive (or computer) while it is on and spinning.
Many of my "blacks" have over 40,000 hrs and still work perfectly....
Here is the original specs from WDC http://web.archive.org/web/20141222074031/htt … detail/a_id/703
Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

Good to know, thank you. Sorry for the hesitation and insistance, can I trust that it won't get an increase in errors over time? I won't be using it daily or even weekly, I'd just like to know that within some reasonable margin I can be assured that the normal performance and archival aspect of it will hold on for some years or possibly more if I'm lucky
