we have 7200 RPM drives in one of the old RAID enclosures at work...still running, just not on a primary server...but a quick fyi...installed in 1996...each of the drive motors, by the rationale of 7200 RPM for 10 years has gone through this many revolutions approximately:

37,843,200,000 revolutions or almost 38 billion revolutions
