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! |
18 |
Best regards, |
