Hi. I´m using a
WD Elements 25A2 harddrive as my system-HDD.
Over a year ago I learned about the problem of high Load_Cycle_Count with certain WD-HDDs.
I fixed it by using
hdparm
Code:
sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sdc
This works really well and the Load_Cycle_Count increases just by the value of 3 per shutdown/boot up.
Like this: 56953 ---> 56953.
Yet within the last 10 days this value has risen from 57043 to 57586 (over 500).
After thinking about what I was doing within that period of time other than normally I just came up with the following:
On a number of occasions I helped 2 friends with
anydesk (remote connection software, similar to
teamviewer). Altogether: about 5 hours.
Is it possible that the observed phenomenon could have something to do with the use of
anydesk? I know that´s
really far-fetched. I just wanted to ask....
BTW: Now that I´m not using
anydesk at the moment everything´s back to normal again. No rise of the Load_Cycle_Count, and
my PC has been running for over 5 hours now.
P.S.:
system: Linux/Lubuntu 16.04.5 LTS, 64 bit
Tnx a lot.
Greetings
Rosika
