HDD's can last for a very long time, i have an old 2.5gig hdd stored away with old games on it - quake, duke nukem, etcs and connect it now and then to grab the games of it. I had it running on my PC a few months ago just to store word files. But its easily 10-yrs old and still running well.
When you say the light is always running. Some malware/trogan can make your drive act weird.
