Similarly, there should have been mention of power supply failures and electrical surges, as these also pose risk to powered parts. There should also have been mention made of chassis /cooling design if all systems were not identical, not just temperature of the drive which can vary per make and model of drive and is not indicative of multiple regions on a drive like the logic IC or motor controller.
