Quoting Gordon Henderson <gordon+dcglug@xxxxxxxxxx>:
That's interesting about the drive failures, I'd have thought they would have a lower minimum working temperature than that (okay not say -40 degrees, but I'd have thought it would be higher).There is a recently published Google study of their disk failure modes, and they found that running them hot was better for them in the long-run... I know that one data robot storage company do this too with a speed/temperature controlled fan..
Ahh I never knew that. So I guess maybe packing drives in a little bit closer might help?
Either that, or I could get the wife to knit some mittens for the drivers in my server :-)
