Amount of case fans degrade HD life?

I was just curious if the amount of case fans that one has in their case, would have a negative effect on the HD's life span b/c of the vibrations that the fans produce. I have an Antec SX830 so I have 5 80mm fans. :\ Just curious, thanks in advance.....
 
Hi,

I've not heard of fan vibration decreasing HD lefe expectancy, but heat will! If your case is packed tight/small/has bad air flow then you do sometimes need a lot of fans to keep everything (HD amongst others) cool.

You can check your drive temperatures using Drive Health

Good luck,
