I just installed Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 beta. To my surprise the HD does not click anymore and the Load_Cycle_Count has not increased in hours. The previous alpha I tried with the same hardware was clicking like crazy, approximately once per 10 seconds. I have not made a single try to fix the problem after Hardy beta installation. So something has apparently changed for the better. It would be nice to know the details what has changed.
