Can people share the disk load cycles of their disk? Command in sigle bay Gen2: smartctl --all /dev/sda Mine: Power_on_hours: 341 Load_Cycle_count: 88 After last update Power_on_hours: 786 Load_Cycle_count: 450 :rage:

Hi TM2017, Is that a red drive? Those are designed for high duty cycle. This means the drive is designed to be accessed constantly. The high Park cycle count means that the drive is simply not being accessed very much. Let’s see if other users can share their numbers.

I am driving a gen2, but have not upgraded to the newest firmware. (I rather like keeping Fox_exe’s application exploit working.) That said, here are my cycle counts. Power_On_Hours 5234 Load_Cycle_Count 2237

Yes I think I have a red one. But I think the load is increasing exponentially. Just wondering if this is normal

Hi, Just checked now my disk status: Power_on_hours: 341 Load_Cycle_count: 88 Power_on_hours: 786 Load_Cycle_count: 450 Power_on_hours: 2087 Load_Cycle_count: 2833 Is this normal behaviour? the load is increasing exponentially. I see that the disk enter in sleep mode several times per day an…

Hello again, just wanted to share that with the drive sleep mode disable the LCC is no more increasing exponentially. I have already open a case with WD support, because this mode is killing the drive.

Good post on it here, with the command to stop it using smartctl.
