There some documents about that (load_cycle_count), you can review them here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Laptop#Hard_drive_spin_down_problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 As per temperature, some hard disk manufacturers read raw values and not normalized, just be sure you are reading/interpreting in the right manner: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/FAQ#Whyismydisktemperaturesreportedbysmartdas150Celsius Besides, is hard disk the only device getting warm?
