<SNIP>

I'll just re-iterate my earlier comment concerning this approach.  Unless you state the
length of time that you are putting a hard drive on a shelf it should be at least stated
that it is short-term.  This is not a safe mid-to-long term solution.

I don't have any particulars on exact time frames but if there is real interest - I'll dig
it up.  John Spencer and others might have some statistics here...

Cheers!
