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

[Nick B.]

What about cases where the 254 setting causes the hard drive to become
very warm? On my laptop an hdparm value of 254 causes the hard drive to
reach temperatures of around 50°C which is too high. Disabling laptop-
mode allows the drive to operate in its normal range somewhere between
41-45. But then it suffers from the unload cycles. Is there another
solution to this?
