One other thing that just occurred to me: some years back, when I was
installing my first Quantum SCSI HDD into a Taiwan-made industrial CPU
chassis, I found that the vibration of the hard disk was quite
considerable. I eventually put it in an external casing and attached it
to the external SCSI interface because I did not want the vibration to
create bad sectors on another drive inside the chassis, or cause the
CDROM drive to wobble too much.
Could vibration cause a hard disk to die early?
