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

[Hernando Torque]

@sibidiba:

Sure, load cycles aren't a bad thing, but at a value of 128 I had 10 of
them per minute - that's too much. I can go without a feature that kills
my disk.

Life time in load cycles: 600.000, warranty: three years, doing the
math: 200.000 load cycles a year, 548 a day. After running one hour with
a value of 128 my disk would have consumed the load cycles of a whole
day. Make it three hours a day and the drive's expected life time would
be a year.
