I have two of these, sda is 400GB and has root, boot, swap and home partitions, sdb is 1TB and has one big partition. They're in my desktop machine, which is usually powered on in the morning and off in the evening. It's two months old. sda: 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age Always - 785 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 141 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 144 sdb: 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age Always - 749 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 122 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 195 195 000 Old_age Always - 17276 The last of these numbers seems fairly high, compared to what others in this thread have reported, especially considering that the disk is quite new. //Niels -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
