New WD Blues (EZRZ) and wdidle3

I noticed that WD has recently rebranded their Green drives to Blue with the 5400 rpm EZRZ series, so I’m just wondering if the new drives have that annoying 8-second head parking ‘feature’? If that feature exists can I use wdidle3 to change or remove it?

I previously lost a WD Green due to excessive head parking so I need to double check, as the new EZRZ Blues look like rebranded Greens.

Welcome to the Community.

I do not see the utility listed for this particular model on WD’s site. As such, I would not recommend it.
