That's good.

Anyway, a fabrication defect could happen for a new drive and an old
drive. Electrostatics or aging of the materials unlikely is an issue.
Assumed the shelf was in an unheated room somewhere in Siberia, this
likely could damage the drive, but assumed it was on a shelf, in a
"normal" house, on some place on this planet, with moderate
environmental conditions, 2 years are nothing.
