Not sure if my previous (subject only) note made to the list or not, but the subject line pretty much says it all anyway. Although, it should not matter for answering my question, my motivation is to get some idea of the feasibility of treating disk drives the same way as tape cartridges. i.e. Leaving them on a shelf for extended periods of time and then expecting to retrieve data from them. While there have been public studies in recent years on the lifespan of powered disk drives, I can not find anything other then anecdotal comments about unpowered drives.
