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

[gunsarebad]

I'm mostly confused, and a little concerned. This information may me useful, but I am probably doing something rather ignorant. It says my Load_Cycle_Count is 64424510589, with 665 for Power_On_Hours. I'm on a Dell xps m1330 that I bought in January, with a 160 GB hard drive, FUJITSU MHW2160BJ FFS G2. I'm sorry to ask a question here, but I really don't know what this means or if I need to do the fix with such ludicrous numbers
 (I'm getting 614649.388 per minute).

225 Load_Cycle_Count        0x0032   100   100   000    Old_age   Always       -       
       64424510589

  9 Power_On_Hours          0x0032   099   099   000    Old_age   Always       -      
       665
