This also shows quite a big number for 1602 hours the drive was powered.
Imho this setting will result in accelerated aging of your disk drive. Be warned!!
Thx again and please other users also report your numbers!
That is approximately how long I’ve had this drive installed. However it does sleep. At least according to the pulsing blue led. Of course it may have been a used drive installed into my MyCloud. I’ll run this command in a few days to see the difference.
I think some of you people have a high number of “load cycle counts”. That parameter had been an issue for past WD NAS drives and was said to be fixed for the WD cloud drive… I got my drive relatively close to the time it came out on the market…

Linadmin, Although I can appreciate performance tools and reviewing monitoring values, but this post is self-deprecating as we compare mine to yours and to his, discovering that soon my newly purchased WD has only days to live if not powered down and coddled.
Personally, I replace my NAS/Servers every couple of years. In fact when I sold my WD Live for $125 (bought for $135), I had let that cheap WD Live device rattle with its indexing for over two years with little sleep until I discovered how to SSH into it and stop the indexing. I actually had a small cushion for it to sit on as the disk grinding was so noisey that I had it hidden in a closet with the closet door closed.
It was a throw-away drive. Something that I bought as a lark because it was on sale at costco, but it became useful because I didn’t have to power up my pc to access.
When I bought my MyCloud, my intentions were the same. Use it till it burns out or until better tech shows up; perhaps sooner as I love the potential speed of the ex2.
I hate doom and gloom pronostications… use it or sell it… simple…

Your philosophy is not mine, and you have other favorites and hates than I do - let us live happyly as long as possible.> Anyhow, your measurement would be highly appreciated and in case you wish I would not comment it
Since the drive isn’t in the smartctl database it’s possible some of the displayed information is incorrect. Some drives report values for time in seconds some in minutes.

As far as I know only drives that have quirks must be “corrected” by the database?

I seem to have a pretty low count of load cycles…
Yes, your values look healthy.
I was pretty sure that not all drives are concerned, but it is a problem for those who run up with head load counts.
