The Green Caviar drives are really bad designed products. Why haven’t they implemented some smart algorithm that monitors how the OS accesses the drive and adjusts the idle time to a sane value? I am sure parking and unparking the heads every few seconds effectively increases the power consumption and destroys the the drive.
