More than one IDE hard drive in a case can cause long-term reliability

Only if you are running a mini/itx system.
The primary problem with multiple drives is heat and you won't run into issues
until you have three or more drives.
If you have a drive that is vibrating enough to affect other drives then it is
defective and should be replaced.
