Good practices should be followed regardless of a particular outcome.
It's only a good practice if it's based in empirical fact, not merely intuition.

Shall we revisit the physical correlation between friction and heat, mechanics of materials, or any of the other physical principles involved? I think the google study precisely supports exactly what I said. "keeping drive temps below 43 deg. C is more or less the gold standard with drive lifetime dropping rather sharply above 45 degrees" http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshots/driveTempFailure- ProbabilityDensity.jpg (from: http://labs.google.com/papers/disk_failures.pdf - page 6) **Note** google did not even show results on the graph for drive temps greater than 55 C (but notice the trend line of the right side of the graph at 55 C) -> asymptotic -- David C.
