My WDs (Caviar Black, 1002FAEX 00Y9A0) have a bug. It seems that in the self-test log the time field overflows after 65535 hours (216). Should they refund me, maybe? :(

As for the original issue: could it be a matter of Seagate doing binning and consumer batches now being drawn from what was left after removing the best performing specimen? Or Covid pandemic disrupting supply chains and Seagate having to rely on worse components? The other explanations I can see is fixing some bug in software or having to decrease performance after it was set too high initially.

I recall Samsung spinny-rust hard drives also used only 16 bits of NVRAM for power-on hours.  I think it is a common practice, considering it's seven and a half years of continuous use.
