I have a Latitude CPx J series and the battery savings haven't been
noticeable for me. However, I will continue to use noflushd because
this HDD is so loud it drives my nuts after awhile. When it spins
down I immediately feel a sense of relief? So, noflushd is a means of
stress reduction...ought to add that to it's description :-) !
