Just curious after I had my first ever failure in my server after 11 years.

I have 2 pools. One full of 11 year old HGST drives, one full of 3 year old Seagate Exos.

A 3 year old Exos failed, and the 11 year olds are chugging along totally fine.

Made me wonder. Is it just a total lottery if a drive lasts 3 minutes or 30 years?
