Optimal WDIDLE3 Setting For WD20EARS Hard Drives

my wd20ears parked at 8 seconds too…

in the first days of use the haddrive had 130 in LCC count

after i changed to maximum of fixe minutes ( i have not disabled the function)

right now i have 235 in LCC count after 3 months of normal use for backups

i have put in disabled at first but it sems better to me five minutes :slight_smile:

8 seconds default is completely stupid and WD sould warn people of their mistakes
