BUT in battery the load cylce count value increases abnormally, the load cycle count value in my 6 months old drive has reached 19600, and it seems to increase only when in battery on ubuntu. i fear that running ubuntu may damage my hard drive, so i fear i cannot use ubuntu in my laptop for more than 15-30 mins at a stretch due to these problems.
