This is not an illusion: my laptop hangs after a couple of hours of work if I set the disk that way. I tend to consider this more bad design of my laptop than a software bug, but it seems that there is no static hdparm -B value that fits me (load cycles increases 100 times per hour if I set it to lower values). I still see a solution: the hdparm setting should be dynamic and influenced by both hddtemp results and the load_cycles count. There should be a daemon which monitors the derivatives of load_cycles and the drive temperature and sets the -B flag of hdparm to 255 whenever load_cycles is increasing too fast, and to lower values whenever the hard disk temperature is increasing too.
