140 GB / 4 hour = 10 MB/sec, that's not much work. so, slow installations means exactly opposite - hdd has little work and it doesn't heat up. just the same as with browsing. the real measure is I/O operations/sec or preferably disk seeks/sec
i lost two HDDs. it may be just luck, or just seagate quality, or because i fed torrents from them. both lived 3-4 years or so, and at least with the first drive i seeded 24h/day. overall i seeded 20 TB, so you need to perfrom 10 TB I/O in 8KB (?) portions to lose one HDD
