As requested by Tejun here
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=545024#c63 , I report a
problem encountered on a DELL Latitude E6410 with a Seagate hard drive
(see attachments for details).

The Load_Cycle_Count increased significantly in the first two days of
life of the machine reaching the value of 1183, which, according to my
estimates corresponds to about 60 cycles per hour. The problems was
fixed by setting a higher value of the power management parameter:

hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda

You find the output of:

- hdparm -I
- smartctl -a
- dmidecode

in the attachments.

Best regards,
Alberto
