I decided to check my hard-drives SMART information a few days ago to make sure things were still going smooth after all this time, and found it odd that the Power_On_Hours value was way off. As you can see in the image, it's set to 1750 hours, or 73 days. This is a PC I've had on for almost 73 days at a time, so that figure is way off.
Are Power_On_Hours known to reset after 10,000 is hit? According to my calculations, I thought the drive would have around 12,000 hours, but if it's 10,000 + 1,750, then that would be damn close to that estimate. On the other hand, my three-year-old laptop harddrive (IDE) registers 15,437 hours... it didn't reset at all.
Anyone understand how this works better than I do?
