Could vibration cause a hard disk to die early?
I guess it could, but I'm pretty sure not in this case -- ha, literally not in this case. Everything was in a very nice and solid Antec case, and the HDD enclosure used four large soft gel-like washers between the HDD and the metalwork. In addition the first HDD was a 10KRPM job and the second was 7200RPM, so whatever frequencies they might resonate at would be different. The 10KRPM lasted months but the 7200RPM guy was killed within a week.
