Power On Time Count SMART warning for Fujitsu 20GB

[Franc Zabkar]

My MPF3204AT Fujitsu 20GB HDD's Power On Time Count just triggered a
SMART warning after dropping below the threshold of 20.

The raw value is currently 43763894 seconds, ie 12156 hours.

OTOH my 120GB Seagate drive is currently at ...

Power On Hours Count 9 0 99 99 0000000005DDh (1501)

... so its expected life appears to be somewhere between 150,100 and
75,050 hours.

After looking at other SMART reports, it looks like Seagate has
settled on a figure of around 90,000 powered-on hours since its 40GB
models.

After looking at other SMART reports, it looks like Seagate has
settled on a figure of around 90,000 powered-on hours since its 40GB
models.

I should have added that this corresponds to roughly 10 years (87,600
hours).
