My original XBox hard drive still works along with the system when I booted it up recently. All of my old PCs still have their hard drives work. I don't see hard drives failing even close to that 5 year mark. Anyways, by that time most people will end up being the XB1 slim to replace their old X1s.

The three things that'll kill a HDD are power loss, movement, and heat. 

Avoid those three things and you can keep a HDD functioning for a long time.
