Hi Gustavo,

I/OAT is for accelerating network operations on newer Xeon processors and E1000 nics. Some information about it is available here: http://lwn.net/Articles/165131/
There's no way that enabling this option could cause your hdd to fry.

I'm a gentoo@laptop user myself. This distro is very disk-demanding because of the frequent compilations. In my opinion it's not the best distro for a mobile system. No wonder your disk gave out :(.
