How old is the oldest hard drive that you still use daily?


I have two 500GB SATA disks that are still in daily use after 10 and 11 years each. How old is the oldest hard drive you currently use?

I have a Toshiba laptop from 2005 or so that just won't die. It runs Archlinux/i3 and is surprisingly speedy for its age.

I have a Windows box with a drive that's 12 years old... still going strong.
