Hi, I’ve received this reply from the wd support, regarding the use of wdidle3 with the wd10ears hd, to solve the problem arising from the smart parameter “193 Load_Cycle_Count”: “Yes, you will be able to use the utility with the drive even though your model is not listed in the page.” I don’t kno…

The thing is that sometimes the wdidle3 works with one drives and not with another, so is always better get WD confirmation.
