I did some reliability analysis for the military about 25 yuears
ago.  It was pretty much following general guidlines and most
of it was baloney.  What I do remember was that failures from
temperature was not a linear curve, it was an exponential
curve.  I will strongly concur with you that heat is your enemy.

What I would love to see, but have never seen, is a Peltier
heat pump to mount hard drives on.
