Comment 539 for bug 59695

Yes, it IS pesent in Windows too. Just checked it in Vista SP1, and not only with my ears, but also with smartmontools and hdparm for Windows. Vista does the same as Ubuntu: nothing... it just let's the hdd manage itself. I fixed it in Linux with setting hdparm to 254 while on AC mode and 128 while on battery mode. I also installed "ramlog", so it's performing very nicely :) Actually the only thing killing my hdd right now is Vista. But updates are coming with acpi-support to do the hdparm thing automatically.
