I fixed this on all of my laptop drives my adding the "/dev/sda { apm =
254}" into /etc/hdparm.conf after enabling hdparm in System >
Administration > Services.

Seems to work -- my load count hasn't increased hardly at all since.
Unfortunately, I didn't get it before my load count on one of my drives
(one that's only a year and half old) has reached north of 1.2 million.

Get this fix out quick!
