Open it up, go to the S.M.A.R.T tab at the top of the window, select your harddrive from the dropdown list.

Then click "perform an in-depth analysis..." blah blah blah It'll open a webpage, look for the figure where mine has a red box around. Thats how many hours your harddrive has been on (your pc basically).

Mines be up for about 12.5k hours.

Although what is of a more pressing concern is that my Local temp is hovering disturbingly high. As in well in the 90C

Just got this laptop for Xmas last year:

4980 hours total since then.

NOTE : your hard disk Power On Hours Count attribute current value (88) is below the normal range (93 - 100) reported for your specific hard disk model. Basically your hard disk was powered on for more than the maximum time the average user did. This means that either all of the reports collected are from hard disks that were not powered on for too long (this is realistic for recent models) or that your hard disk is becoming old. Usually this is not considered as a pre-failure advisory, but you should check whether you want to replace the hardware or keep an eye on its performances over time.

In my case, I don't have a SMART capable drive - or more likely, my SATA controller is not SMART capable.

However, I don't really care - I have a better hard-disk arrangement than most of you - Two 250gb SATA drives(Western Digital), in a RAID-1 configuration. I therefor have 100% redundancy. I can lose one hard-disk without losing a single byte of data, and run on one just as well.
