Don't worry. They'll be saying goodbye to you first.

The drives and media won't last. The media will start deteriorating to
the point of the magnetic material rubbing onto your drive heads. When
you start hearing whistling noises from the disks as they spin, it's
time to do a backup!

I still keep my old drives too, just haven't had to turn them on for
over a year.
