for harddisks, low temperature is the secret of
long life (and stable env. conditions, of course)
hddtemp is a nice tool to figure the disk temp
for most newer drives, and as a rule of the thumb,
everything below 40°C is considered fine and all
above 50°C is considered deadly ...
Yeah, although there was a google report out recently that said cooler
drives failed quicker (go figure!)
Most of our drives are anything from 35-45, but have a few at the 50 mark.
But have been there for 2 years and not failed. Although we tend to do disk
swaps every 12 months anyway. It saves a lot of heart ache
