Had to upgrade several data centers with 48 AIX boxes in each to AIX 4.1 several years ago. The majority of the boxes had been running for more than 4 years (Basically since they'd been turned up). We had a couple that wouldn't boot. We took the case off, tapped on the drive with a screwdriver and it spun up. We put the case back on and left it running. From what I understand, the things are still there and running. It's been at least 7 years now.
