Ayup, though there's not all that much effect. All modern hard drives use fluid bearings, and it just thickens up a little, stressing the motor that little bit more. Nothing serious. >That machine doesn't spin down anyway, because it's the >main data source. Perhaps we should move the always on machine to the >house one. That drive is currently 41�. That's a good temperature. About the only thing that came out of the Google hard drive study was that drives die least between 35 and 45 degrees C. I *do* so wish they'd published by manufacturer.
