I have a 3TB Seagate from around 2009 that still works. It was shucked from an external USB enclosure and has moved desktops several times. Granted its use has been pretty intermittent. Right now it’s just sitting on my desk, as it often has.

I have some ~140GB SAS drives HP branded that are probably of similar age based on the capacity, and they still work… but again, they haven’t exactly been active for the last 15 years straight.
