It's only a good practice if it's based in empirical fact, not merely intuition.
It is an empirical fact that disks *do fail* because they are too hot. Mostly, the electronics fails, some integrated circuit gets burned. Please don't isolate one of my statements from the whole of my post. The central point was: "Statistics can be misleading. The fact that most drives didn't fail because they were too hot does not put aside the fact that many of them failed because they were too hot." We could discuss this forever. *In practice* I am sure you understood what I meant. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
