I could here the disk head parking , about 8s after GRUB was loaded.This
really seems to be a problem with the firmware of the Harddisks.
Also I'd like to mention , that there is a difference between disk head
parking and spin down , from what I could hear - from my hard disk - the
disk head might be parked even when the disk is not spinning down - or
up.There is another Parameter , to measure the number of spin downs -
Start_Stop_Count - this one has a minimum threshold of ~30000 before
failure.
