Is that 24/7/365?  3 years is 26,280 hours.  In days of yore, good disks 
used to be rated for 50-100K hours, but I suspect in the last few years 
the design life has gone down with the prices.  In 3 years, price cut in 
half, capacity doubled, speed doubled (or at least increased a lot).  
Getting to where you just treat disks like tires on your car and replace 
them as needed....
