Idea #1477: FIX High frequency of load/unload cycles for laptop HDDR

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #288: Fix Hard Drive Load Cycle Problem in Laptops.
Written by jonny-rockets the 29 Feb 08 at 15:06. Category: System. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
It is confirmed that some systems are seeing an unusually high number of load/unload cycles on their hard disks, as evidenced by smartctl. It was originally surmised that this was related to laptop-mode being enabled, but this affects systems *regardless* of whether or not laptop-mode has been enabled.

The heads are only parked for a very short period of time, making impact protection much less effective (and wearing out the drive as well).
