Lol, I kinda hope so. I wanna see some of the uptimes people have accumulated! I’ve seen as high as around 100k POH on an old Barracuda.

I think the warning itself is not inherently bad, but the “please consider replacing the drive soon” portion is definitely unacceptable. I work in the disc drive industry and 3 years is very little, especially for a NAS drive. I’ve personally seen and used a number of drives with >100k POH.
