I've had plenty of drives, and I mean plenty, that have lasted more than 10 years. it's easily in the dozens. Hard drives aren't that fragile. I have 80G drives around here that I bought in 2003, ticking right along, I have given away dozens of machines with old 40s and 60s and 100s as boot drives that are still going strong.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, that 5 or 6 years is not unrealistic.
