Which is generally why software kills power savings. Software typically hasn't got a clue about power saving, as it doesn't know the first thing about how the device actually operates.

600,000 cycles in its lifetime which means that you will need a new hard drive every 1.1 years.
But only if your laptop is running 24 hours a day for 1.1 years. Move it to only 8 hours a day, and you're talking over 3.5 years instead.
