PATCH 1/5 storage-fixup: add ASUS F6S with seagate devices

The ASUS F6S was generating approx. 3 clicks per minute without the APM workaround, with two different seagate drives of similar model but differing cache/capacity.

Any value ~ 192 or above is enough to have the clicking cease, is the lowest possible number preferable?

Can you please post the result of 'dmidecode' and 'hdparm -I' so that I can post them to the wiki page?

Thanks.
