I have some Toshiba laptop drives running on an Asrock 2550D4I with 16GB ECC RAM that are giving me insane load_cycle_counts. I have disabled APM in BIOS and set APM on the drives in FreeNAS to level 254. I even tried camcontrol to disable APM in the disk itself and the disk reports that APM is disabled, but I'm still seeing the load_cycle_count increase by about 50 per hour with nobody accessing FreeNAS at all. At this rate they'll reach their rated 600,000 cycles in 500 days.
I can't seem to find any utilities that would disable head parking in the drive itseld, but ataidle and camcontrol have been unsuccessful. If anyone has any ideas that would be great.
