> otherwise smartd will damage your green drive

Do you have any reference for this? I've used smartmontools on Green drives
for years with no problems. 

There is an issue in Green drives with a feature called IntelliPark, which
parks the heads on the drive after 8 secs of drive inactivity. 

This causes a huge number being reported in SMART named 'load_cycle count',
but this count happens whether or not anyone uses smartmontools. 

I've disabled IntelliPark on all my Green drives.
