Comment 570 for bug 59695

@sibidiba:

Sure, load cycles aren't a bad thing, but at a value of 128 I had 10 of them per minute - that's too much. I can go without a feature that kills my disk.

Life time in load cycles: 600.000, warranty: three years, doing the math: 200.000 load cycles a year, 548 a day. After running one hour with a value of 128 my disk would have consumed the load cycles of a whole day. Make it three hours a day and the drive's expected life time would be a year.
