Very high Load_Cycle_Count (over 5 000 in less than 180h)

W O W !!!

W O W !!!

W O W !!!

Somebody from other forum finally seem to be able to fix this (going great lenghts)…

Check here - http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/forum/t-351295/the-s-m-a-r-t-attribute-193-load-unload-counter-keeps-increa#post-1145639

(no idea if you can see that forum post without registering there first).

In short: trick is to install (compile directly on MBL) seperate tool called idle3-tools and reboot your drive.

After that - NO MORE INCREASING LOAD CYCLE COUNTER.

I will do this on my own drive A S A P and confirm results.

Edit:

compiled without problems… but not sure how to set timer for 8minutes (or 5 minutes) - what value should i choose?.

I dont want to disable it completely, becouse I have no idea how that will affect my 10min standby-mode.
