General rule of thumb life span 3-5 years for spinning drives. I hear good things about repurposed server drives 3-5 years? I had that 2TB one for nearly 10 lol. Actually I still have it... somewhere... Just no real use for it anymore. A lot of the time I've encountered broken ones, it's not the actual drive but rather the USB adapter part that's broken. On some brands (most notable exception being WD) you can actually open the drive up, and it'll just be a laptop hard drive attached to a USB-SATA adapter, which you can replace (possibly with a temporary measure) to access the drive again. --- Do, or do not.
