Two years is relatively old and not relatively new. I had lots of drives
that failed after 2 years. My current drives are older than 5 years and
ok. However, I'm talking about internal drives that are always on, so
gvfs had no negative impact. I guess my USB drive is even not one year
in use, but gvfs wasn't good for this drive. Likely that _all_ portable
drives by default will do what USB drives nowadays do, they will park
after 30 minutes or earlier and gvfs will wake them up, so if you would
buy a new laptop, you would experience the same issue. Buy a new drive
and turn of auto-parking or don't use gvfs.
