Thanks ethanay, I had exactly the same two problems as you! Personnally I've put "hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda" even in battery mode because this "click" sound is driving me crazy. My HD temperature looks OK (42°C).
I'm not sure the problem is 100% solved thus, because I still hear a much fainter "click" sound, which is happening every 1 second approximately, and I also hear my disk spinning quite often without any reason... -- 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
