8 years and still going on a Dell R430 rack server (8X SSD in RAID 10, 2X Xeon CPU, ...)

One of the drives failed last year, but used one of the hot spares on standby to put out the fire as it were.

Amazing longevity, perhaps I've just gotten lucky while avoiding obscene 24/7 cloud instance costs. It will die at some point, much like the HN server storing these very words.
