    I could be wrong, but my understanding from Backblaze data/articles is that if your HDD made it past 1 year, it’s probably going to last at least a decade. Drives tend to fail early if they’re going to fail.

    A warranty warning is fine, though still more obtrusive than I want personally. I haven’t lost a disc at all yet tbh, including well over a decade of pretty hard use one several. I’ve got local parity and cloud backups for when that inevitably changes though.
