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