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

Ok. Running an experiment.  I’ve seen in a technical document on WD’s site that some drives have had the intellipark ceiling raised from the default 8 seconds to 300 seconds.  I’m going to try the same and if the LLC does not increment like a junkie deprived of his/or drugs then I’m leaving it at 300 seconds.  I did have it set to 390 seconds.

8 seconds seems like s stupid ceiling and with the drive on my NAS spun down (after 10 minutes) most of the time the power saving offered by intellipark will be close to invisible let alone negligible.
