I purchased a DELL XPS M1530 with linux preloaded specifically in order to avoid having to deal with this bug (which killed my last laptops hard-drive), but to my shock, once I installed 8.10 on the XPS, the load cycle count was still increasing at an alarming rate (+1 every 10secs).
I am really disappointed that more than one year after its discovery this bug continues to plague Ubuntu. I do not know if it is Dell or Ubuntu that is at fault here, but the current situation is clearly unacceptable.
