I have drives that are very old and still running.  The only drive I 
have ever had to really fail, WD.  It had a lot more than 5 years of run 
time too.  I generally run my rig 24/7 here.  That drive was about 8 
years old or maybe older.  It also wasn't in the best place for cooling 
either, unlike my new Cooler Master HAF-932 case where the fans blow 
directly on the drives.

Warranty is only the time it is guaranteed to work not how long it will 
work.  I still buy WD drives too.  I got several of them buggers here.
