So 56 load cycles per hour would be a bad number?
Model Family: Hitachi Travelstar 7K100
Device Model: Hitachi HTS721010G9AT00
Dell Inspiron 8600
Ubuntu 8.04
In November, I was told by Ubuntu Forum staff that I didn't have to worry about this, since laptop mode is disabled by default and I don't have it installed. Was I told wrong?
If your product is destroying users' hardware, this should be a TOP priority for fixing. If you're not going to fix it, the very least you could do is include a script that checks for inordinate numbers of load cycles, warns the user, and points them to ways to fix it. An obscure link to a confusing wiki page is not good enough.
