If you are interested in getting Dell to replace affected hard drives, you may wish to promote this idea on Ideastorm:

It requests that Dell replace not only hard drives that die from this bug, but also hard drives that are greatly affected before a fix is implemented. In my case, my hard drive accumulated more than 450,000 load cycles before I applied the fix, so I think it and other drives like it deserves to be replaced.
