Not sure if it's related or simply common knowledge - the WD EcoGreen "EARS" Advanced Format drives unter natty still park their heads every eight seconds.... smartctl in rc.local does lower the Load_Cycle_Count but does not fully help. There is a linux version of wdidle3 that also did not help much - so, there are still configurations after years with this problem...
