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

[sibidiba]

@Hernando:

Please read also previous comments, it is repetitively stated, that up
to 15 load cycles per hour is OK anyway.

Also note that my comment was for "running on batteries". Indeed, high
(>15/h) load cycles save power and may prevent data loss when dropped.
But it can not damage your disk in this case, because you simply can't
run long enough on batteries for this to happen...
