It is true that there is such a bug. It is not true that the bug is in Ubuntu.

The bug is in the default hard drive configuration as set by the
manufacturer. The reason that Windows does not hammer the drive is
because Windows has yet another bug, which causes the OS to ignore the
drive's default configuration settings. So there you have what I like
to call an even number of bugs, which 'fix' each other.
