Hi all, On 3 Oct, this message from Benjamin Cama echoed through cyberspace: > But what worries me most is the Load_Cycle_Count value : 2898441 is > far too high for a disk, but may look real, as your disk as been > spinning for quite some time (10000+ hours).

I can totally confirm Benjamin's analysis. I also have lost a disk (2.5" Seagate Momentus 5400.2) to the load/unload problem. It was used in a Mac Mini running as a server (thus powered on 24x7). As said, the solution to this is setting the power management configuration via hdparm's -B option. There are a few options: - laptop-mode-tools - /etc/default/hdparm - pbbuttonsd All of them include ways to set hdparm options.
