So is that high usage compared to backblaze?

Is the 10y head flying for each head? Is it for heads actually reading/writing, or just for spinning drives/aloft heads?

I only skimmed the charts, they seemed to just measure time/years, but not necessarily drive use over time.



This NAS, a lenovo ix4-300d, came with Seagate drives (ST1000DM003), so its whatever the SMART 240 counter (Head flying hours) means to Seagate I guess. I just interpret it as "not parked", so it could be doing anything, but this NAS is not doing huge amounts of I/O - mostly just for music, movies, and some personal files. I think all the heads for all platters are on one assembly so they are either all parked or all spinning.
