Re: Important: Ubuntu can hurt laptop disks
Alot of hard drives these days have 1 year warrenties, and i read this 'feature' would kill a hard drive at min 12 months so could be slightly more and thus out of warrenty.

It seems odd that manufacturers would set the drives to spin up/down every minute on battery power
