I/OAT is for accelerating network operations on newer Xeon processors
and E1000 nics. Some information about it is available here:

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
