"We classify a datacenter as ... humid (H as the second letter of the tag) if at least 10% of its internal relative humidities over a year are above 60%." http://www.cityrating.com/relativehumidity.asp To see average morning and evening humidty along with average monthly humidity, start at: http://www.cityrating.com/weather-history/ Click on your city (if listed) or the nearest one, and scroll down to the "Humidity and Rain" details section. Seems my city is rarely under 60% humidity. Las Vegas is dry (you should tote a water bottle) but I'm not moving there (for more reasons than dryness) just so my HDDs will live longer. New Orleans is the other spectrum end: soggy. HDDs are not sealed. They have a breather filter to equalize outside & inside pressures; see http://alasir.com/books/hards/022-024.html. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/pa...zes-d_934.html shows some particule sizes, and some are under 0.3 micron. These filters won't have any effect against molecular sized contaminents, like humidity. Since some contaminents are under 0.3 micron, there are other environments where HDDs will have shorter lifespans. I'm not sure any end user that would respond here has availability to the forensics lab requirements to diagnose the cause of death for an HDD or the finances capable of purchasing and testing thousands of HDDs to replicate the research you noted. |
