Not if it's still useful.<br>
<br>
That said, I'd consider it "dead" if it's not backed up. If it has
been in constant service, though, and is still working, then more
power to it.<br>
<br>
My goal is to always be ready for drive failure. I've had drives
die 2 days after installation, and I've had drives run for 10
years. (Typically after that long, though, I'm out of space on them
and need to upgrade anyway, but that's just me.)<br>
