Bug Description
As requested, I'm reporting this bug. I'll try to include all the needed information here.
The default aggressive APM / AAM setting ( =254 ) does a fine job on the load_cycle_count rising issue but actually makes the HDD run really hot.
FYI, on Windows 7 I have set APM = 231 and AAM = 128 and the temperature is lower ( about 41 C comparing to 50 C on Ubuntu with the default APM = 254 ) and surprisingly there's NO load_cycle_count rising problem. The disk simply doesn't click at all. While on Ubuntu, if I lower the APM and AAM values ( 231 & 128 - just like on Windows ), the hdd gets indeed cooler but there comes the load_cycle_count issue - it raises about 1 point every minute.

Hi SolidSlash,
If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
