Code:

root@death:/home/dave# smartctl -a /dev/hda|grep Model
Device Model: IC35L120AVV207-0
root@death:/home/dave# smartctl -a /dev/hda|grep Power_On
9 Power_On_Hours 0x0012 098 098 000 Old_age Always - 19132

That's over double your 13 months, and that's power-on time .

(That's a 120GB Deskstar 180GXP.)

They didn't create the self-destructing drives, they bought them from IBM :-O

Does that mean that Hitachi are going to create a drive that won't fail after 13 months?! First time for everything I guess.

I think you should move this thread to the 'Bash 1sf' forum!
