I've got some external HDs I use for storage basically that have been in
regular use adding and removing files for years without any problem.
The only HD failure I can remember was about 10 years ago or so when I
dropped one. :/

One of my current projects is actually consolidating a lot of stuff on
various external drives I've collected and removing duplicates.
