How are they going? Have you have a power cut with then going? I heard that if they lose power without warning they can die.

Not anymore because I've changed my mine and have a one week old Windows 10 machine.

I built mine in March 2013, so nearly four years old. I haven't touched it since then, but I've thought of getting an SSD a few times. Will probably do that some time.

I have a few old Dell desktop computers lying around but they're running Linux of some sort. I really don't use them. I have a 17" MacBook Pro from, I think 2008 or so (just upgraded to Sierra) that I use when I travel or work on the road. My main computer is a 13" MacBook Pro from 2012. I never use my screens so both notebook computers still work very well. I always connect my notebooks to a big Samsung monitor on my desk.

About 1 year. Laptop to replace the 2 older computers that I have.
Still have the old laptop, 8 years and the old desktop, about 6 years that I use to store backup files on. Got tired of digging out the USB drive. Now I just transfer via the network.

I've actually been using a laptop drive in my computer for the last year or so, so it'll seem like an even bigger difference

It'll be relatively easy to replace with a 2.5" SSD.I've actually been using a laptop drive in my computer for the last year or so, so it'll seem like an even bigger difference

Why should they die?
That can happen to a standard HDD easily when the read-write head falls down without parking.

Do I use it the same as any other driver when it comes to installing the OS etc?
