This was pretty old. It was like 20-40gb in size and was an upgrade for an NT4 box (found NT4 wouldnt ket you have a C bigger than like 4gb or 8gb or something, so i upgraded to win2k) so maybe early 2000s, perhaps it was ahead of its time, which is why it died.

Best hard drives are server ones seemingly. Ive got some 2.1gb (old) hotswappable 7200rpm (mush have been blazingly fast 'back in the day') SCSI drives in a compaq server and it runs 24/7 for like the 6+ years i have had it lol (before that it ran for like up to 5 years with someone else). Only one of the three disks has died which is real impressive.
