As opposed to what? Never accessing it at all?

I suppose if you were to put the hard drive into some sort of deep freeze and 
never use it it would last longer. How would that help?

I doubt the usage you refer to would result in any measurable decrease in 
life.

Take a look at Google's famous report on hard drive life. You'll have to 
google around for it. It had some interesting conclusions, like temperature 
doesn't seem to correllate with life as much as we all thought
