Re: Endurance?
"Possibly the weak components are "wet" electrolytic capacitors which degrade if left dormant. Presumably that would be, or already is, addressed with improved versions?"
Yes, newer electrolytics do age better (well, a little better at least), but most if not all drives now use tantalum types, that would last longer than the media they're running anyway.
