Did anyone have a v1 spec 360 that didn't suffer the RROD?

I know this isn't news but I still find it shocking how widespread the problem was.

My mate’s little brother has a launch system that he used pretty heavily (50k gamerscore) that somehow lasted the entire generation. I wanna say it was never repaired either but can’t remember for sure. The lunatic never upgraded the HDD either so stuck with 20gb the whole time!

I had two fail with RROD, a pre HDMI white one and an elite. I still have my S model and it’s louder than even my V1 PS4 pro was.

One of my launch switch joycons failed completely and the fan in the system itself makes a grinding noise for 30 seconds or so when you first turn it on.

Other failures I’ve had were a PS3 slim I’d bought from cash converters as a blu-ray player/Netflix player that lost all its wireless abilities and a power supply failure in a JP Saturn that had been converted to 240v. I have multiple cartridge based consoles from the 80’s that are still going strong and get used to this day.

Oh and my PS5 is silent in rest mode with the USB power on and a external SSD hooked up. I know because I’m often on the floor playing with my daughter right next to it. Never heard it whilst using it either apart from the drive spinning up every now and again which is surprisingly annoying and hopefully they’ll patch that out.
