So less than 3 years use maximum.
5 years = 24 x 365 x 5 = 43,800 hours
This is only a fraction of the 2 million so these drives still have a lot to give!

If you're seeing warnings in Event Viewer, I'd definitely do some thorough diagnostics. Also, make sure you're looking at the right drive. I believe Windows labels the first drive as Disk 0, leading to some confusion.

Anybody thinking drives go anywhere near 500,000 hours assuming on/off cyles in a desktop environment is smoking something... 2m mtbf is an aging process and subjective... based on the disk parts only, not the elecrronic board interface
If you look at the model numbers of these drives, the whole first part of the string is identical, and they are just differentiated by the suffices, i.e., "E" for "Enterprise", "NAS" for NAS, and "DVR" for the surveillance style. So a simplistic interpretation might be that the drives are mechanically very similar, but their firmwares are tailored to the specific types of workloads they expect to see.
Again, happy to hear more from an expert out there!
