Google has released the paper that I’ve been wanting to talk about for months. This is a really interesting read. We collected the S.M.A.R.T. data from hard disks in use for years and learned some very interesting things. Including... running hard drives hot now and then doesn’t seem to produce as many failures as one would think. If you really want to predict failure, well, you’ll have to read the paper.

This is pretty cool. The most interesting aspect of this paper is the effects of temperature. Our people love to keep our computer room at a temperature of 65-68°F. This paper indicates that hard drives fail far less frequently at 80°F. I'm assuming the temperature here is referring to the drive itself and not the ambient temperature, so will need to account for that too.

Might explain why we have so many hard drive failures the past few years.
