Hello to all,
Does anyone know if this is being studied and if data is becoming
available?
Google recently produced a report on disk failures.

This doesn't give an answer to your question though.
Purely on a personal level (ie not speaking for my company) the
components which most often go wrong are the moving ones - disks and fans.
That aside, I don't think running systems at 100% utilisation will
reduce their lifetime.
THAT IS if cooling is adequate ie. if you make sure systems are cooled
properly, proper front to back flow of cold air, and take steps to
monitor the temperatures then I don't think system lifetime will be
reduced. Think of all the mainframes and supercomputers which are now
either scrapped or sitting in storage - most of them probably still
function fine, even though they had hard lives when they were in production.
