Undoubtly - I have four 5" Fujitsu ESDI (SCSI wasn't so hot at the time)
drives that have been continuously spun up since 1987 with no problem at
all.  Newer drives spin twice as fast and get at least twice as hot - I
just don't see any of them surviving that long, although I sure wouldn't
mind being wrong about this...

I also paid a small fortune for these - at least now everything is cheap
enough it won't be nearly as painful when one decides to die.
