H-u-mm, it's interesting... (I test only my Gateway 7330gz with PC Linux) When I check: smartctl -d ata -a /dev/hdl | grep Load_Cycle_Count I get ~ 1 count per minute or more. I put the same command in a chron job to run every minute, and there is no increase any more. the HD temperature remain the same.... When I reboot, there is one count over. Please let me know. Interesting, indeed, j.
