Vladan,

It appears i have thrown out my last 2 WD disks just recently ... ;) 

The reason, of course, was they were worn out. I didn't know of the idle3 
problem, then.

Anyway, now i'm using only SG and even fresh new drives always show several 
'pre failure' values in smartd.
I'm lazy using gsmartcontrol, btw.

> Is there any way to reduce numbers of load cycles on PATA drives?

Beats me  .... sorry.
