I have a HP Compaq nx6325 laptop and my Hitachi HTS541080G9SA00 hard drive has 94066 load/unload cycles after 11 months of using Ubuntu with it.
Don't blame this bug on the BIOS - every ordinary user will tell you that Windows didn't hurt their hard disk and it is Ubuntu that killed it. That's why this bug's priority should be marked at least as high.
Also try to find similar bugs in other linux distributions, or even file them if they suffer from similar problem.
