mine's been on for over 3 years!!
not all disks record this info though...
My maxtor_6y080p0:
9 Power_On_Minutes 0x0032 217 217 000 Old_age
Always - 595h+50m
And my st380011a:
9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 092 092 000 Old_age
Always - 7111
But the st380011a is younger than the maxtor_6y080p0 so that number of
595h is wrong. I noticed that the temperature that it reports is too low
also. YMMV.
And smartctl cannot be used with some disks: I have two disks that I use
with an USB enclosure and smartctl gets:
Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)
although they are a PATA and a SATA disk
