@sibidiba: Sure, load cycles aren't a bad thing, but at a value of 128 I had 10 of them per minute - that's too much. I can go without a feature that kills my disk.
Life time in load cycles: 600.000, warranty: three years, doing the math: 200.000 load cycles a year, 548 a day. After running one hour with a value of 128 my disk would have consumed the load cycles of a whole day. Make it three hours a day and the drive's expected life time would be a year. -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
