This document appears to be a statistical analysis of HD failures. It
doesn't attempt to delve into the technical reasons for failure. The
only time it discusses temperature, or SMART, is in reference to the
Google article in my OP.
Google's experience suggests to me that temperatures below about 35C
result in greater failure rates, which is contrary to normal
expectations. However, Arno appears to be saying that the lower temps
may be a consequence of failure rather than a cause.
