Ahhh, that's an issue. What about vibration? I was once reading up on 
the difference between the "server" and "desktop" models on the Seagate 
Barracude drives and learned that the difference was the amount of 
vibration tolerance. If you have several of the same drives on the same 
mounting frame, there's a high chance that the drives resonate, leading 
to highly amplified vibration and hence much shorter life.
