So 56 load cycles per hour would be a bad number? Model Family: Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 Device Model: Hitachi HTS721010G9AT00 Dell Inspiron 8600 Ubuntu 8.04
In November, I was told by Ubuntu Forum staff that I didn't have to worry about this, since laptop mode is disabled by default and I don't have it installed. Was I told wrong? If your product is destroying users' hardware, this should be a TOP priority for fixing. If you're not going to fix it, the very least you could do is include a script that checks for inordinate numbers of load cycles, warns the user, and points them to ways to fix it. An obscure link to a confusing wiki page is not good enough. -- 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
