Fair, newest ones are, but two of my older current drives are IronWolfs 16TB which are 10^15 in the specs[1], and they've been running for 5.4 years. Again without any read errors, monthly scrubs, and of course daily use.

And before that I have been using 8x WD Reds 3TB for 6-7 years, which have 10^14 in the specs[2], and had the same experience with those.

Yes smaller size, but I ran scrubbing on those biweekly, and over so many years?
