The article explains why performance is lower for PS drives, but doesn't actually say a lot about why reliability is lower. The only thing it says is that the duty cycle is higher due to less intelligent seeking. Does a disk which is spinning 24x7 but is mostly idle (eg my Myth installation) fail more quickly than a disk which is powered off for those other hours?
