There were a couple of papers presented two years ago discussing this; one from Google (who have a <i>bit</i> of storage) and an academic paper that surveyed 100k drives. http://storagemojo.com/2007/02/20/everything-you-know-about-disks-is-wrong/ Glad you were able to bring it back from the dead though!
