Good News, everybody! (sorry, I just like saying that..) I don't know if this is accurate for all drives, obviously. However, on my laptop, switching from -B <254 | 255> to -B 200 decreased temperature by five degrees, without increasing load_cycle_count *at all*. This may be good news for folks who are having worries about the HD temperature. It may also be a good idea for the debian patch to be revisited, considering the concerns over HD temp.
