I was thinking of setting up a seedbox. Seeding will mean that the hard drive is being read from virtually non-stop. Is it fair to say that hard drives are designed for this? Or would this reduce the operational life-span of the hard drive?
For example, I was trying to find some spec in the Seagate Barracuda hard drive specifications document, but I wasn’t able to find anything specific to this (or perhaps I just missed it).
I’m not exactly sure if this is the right community to post this, so let me know if there’s a better place for it to go.

Just out of curiosity, why are you setting up a seedbox in a enterprise environment?
Are you inferring that the torrents would be stored in ram? That would not be feesible with large amounts of data.
What do you mean? What enterprise environment?

Ah, sorry about that. That’s why I mentioned the 3rd paragraph in my post; I wasn’t sure if this was the correct place for this post - I wasn’t sure where else to go.
That makes more sense in context

Thank you for letting me know!
