Hi Ken, as400 disk are not what they use to be (there are several treads on this list about this subject). I don't pay attention to life expectancy anymore, I would suggest you to protect your disks with some level of raid and keep going. Replacing the ones that crash when that happens. Remember to always keep a good backup handy.

I have a number of AS436 machines in our branches, that have been out there running since 1998, that's about six years now. I'm not exactly sute what the device numver is foe the 2GB drives in these boxes, but does anyone in the group now what the life expectancy is for these hard drives. Sorry I can't be more specific about the drive type. One crashed last year, and we spent almost a week to re-coup it.
