[Bug 59695] Re: High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime

[Magnus S]

This bug also affects my Dell Inspiron 1525n. Not in Gutsy, but in
Hardy.

Device Model:     WDC WD2500BEVS-75UST0
Serial Number:    WD-WXC108163731
Firmware Version: 01.01A01

The Load_Cycle_Count value climbs by 1 about every 10 seconds or so.

However, this can be fixed with the hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda command.
