Hi, |

The WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 1TB "green" harddisk has an design flaw: |
| 4 |
The heads are parked after a much too short time. Or in other words: |
| 5 |
The designed maximum of head-park-cycles are reached much too fast. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
WD has offered a tool called widdle, which seem to modify the timer |
| 8 |
settings of that part of the firmware, which is responsible for |
| 9 |
the parking of the heads. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Has somewhere out there applied widdle to a |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
1TB harddisk with success with -for example- a freedos bootdisk? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Thank you very much in advance for any help and info! |

Best regards, |
