@jokeman: I don't know, but overall, that's reasonable. A laptop usually spends at most about 1/3 of its life on battery, and it's good for the disk to stay parked while on battery if possible (it helps protect against impacts). Keep an eye on it and make sure that it isn't incrementing while on AC, and the parks while on battery are few enough that it shouldn't be a problem. I.e., no increase while on AC, ~17/hr on battery should give you ~10 years of usable hd time, even accounting for the load cycles that are already used.
