Looks like you have one of many drives the have a broken firmware. openSUSE has a special package named storage-fixup, that reconfigures your drive so that this does not happen, presupposed it is contained in the list of known broken devices.
With so many Load_Cycles you can consider your drive close before failure. Better you replace it soon.
All this happened with one of my drives, too. It was part of a RAID1, so I was
save as it failed. Two other drives showed the same symptoms, but storage- fixup saved them.

Thanks Herbert, But unbelievably my drive is not one contained in /etc/storage-fixup.conf e.g. $ sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [x86_64-linux-3.11.10-29-desktop] (SUSE RPM) Copyright (C) 2002-13, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: WDC WD7500BPVX-22JC3T0 Serial Number: WD-WX61EC3RSP88 <snip> $ grep WDC /etc/storage-fixup.conf # Reported drive model: WDC WD2500BEVS-75UST0 ata model WDC WD*BEVS* # Reported drive model: WDC WD2500BEVS-75UST0 ata model WDC WD*BEVS* # Reported drive model: WDC WD1600BEVT-75ZCT0 ata model WDC WD*BEVT* # Reported drive model: WDC WD1600BEVE-00UYT0 ata model WDC WD*BEVE* # Reported drive model: WDC WD1200BEVE-00WZT0 ata model WDC WD*BEVE* # Reported drive model: WDC WD3200BEVT-22ZCT0 ata model WDC WD*BEVT* # Reported drive model: WDC WD1600BEVT-22ZCT0 ata model WDC WD*BEVT* # Reported drive model: WDC WD3200BEVT-22ZCT0 ata model WDC WD*BEVE* I would need a 'WDC WD*BPVX*' and that's nowhere to be found :( I'm crossing my finger the /etc/hdparm.conf will work: $ cat /etc/hdparm.conf /dev/sda { apm = 161 } ( 161 is just a unique number to check after reboot, I'll probably stick with 160 or 192 if it works ) - -- David C.
