My PCs are on all of the time and I expect the drives to last a lot more than 24 months. Some of my older hardware has drives that are at least 12 years old and still working fine!
At the millennium, one of my major clients chose to power down all of its servers and reboot after midnight. My other clients chose to leave their servers running. After the reboot, a number of drives (only about six, as I recall, out of hundreds in multiple RAID arrays) failed because the heads stuck to the landing zone on the platters due to the build-up of grime forced onto the LZ by centrifugal force over many years of running. These would have mostly been top spec. SCSI drives in Sun servers and high end IDE drives in HP or Compaq machines not low end consumer drives in desktop PCs.

I was referring specifically to "RTÉ International" the proposed television channel which has been "Coming soon ..." to cable, DTT and satellite viewers in the UK for years.
