I've been replacing my hard drives about every 3 years, but that's because the portable hard drives are becoming more affordable and the last time I replaced them was to upgrade to USB 3.0 connections.
I have a box of hard drives too, some of them date back to late 90s early 2000s. The hard drives are the one thing I don't tend to give away because I had data on them.
