@Michael:

Your workaround looks interesting - can you tell us something about the impact on power consumption? I am currently having the problem that one of my laptops, the Evo N600c, is grilling and toasting its harddrive after I set hdparm -B 200. HD Temperature now is constantly at 50 degrees Celsius, lots of fan activity even with no hard drive access. That leaves me with two impossible options - either I toast my HD or I break it from the load cycles :-(((((

So what does smartctl say about your HD temperature?
