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

[hasan]

I purchased a DELL XPS M1530 with linux preloaded specifically in order
to avoid having to deal with this bug (which killed my last laptops
hard-drive), but to my shock, once I installed 8.10 on the XPS, the load
cycle count  was still increasing at an alarming rate (+1 every 10secs).

I am really disappointed that more than one year after its discovery
this bug continues to plague Ubuntu. I do not know if it is Dell or
Ubuntu that is at fault here, but the current situation is clearly
unacceptable. We need our hard disks to last.
