My harddrive started to slowly die when at a Load_Cycle_Count of 200.000 after 10 months of use (Feisty and a little bit of Gutsy).
The reason I’m estimating to watch out for values above 90 per day is because it will guarantee that your Load_Cycle_Count is less than 100.000 in three years : 90 * 365 * 3 = 98550 Which almost guarantees that your harddrive won’t die during the first three years due to a high Load_Cycle_Count.
