[REQUEST] Working WdIdleDisable.exe for WD Elements 10B8

Hello i have the following USB unit (3.0) WDBUZG0010BBK and i tried to use official WdIdleDisable_v6 tool but it says that cannot apply the update.

I checked the Load Cycle count value and it’s growing so i suspect that also this drive has Intellipark on.

Could you please help me ?

PS = i also tried official dos version (1.0.5) with no luck, and also the unofficial Linux version idle3-tools with the following error (HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid argument)

Many thanks

Your post sounds more like a good Feature Request; the best place for this, is in the Ideas Exchange section. This way someone from WD will be sure to see it and will allow more users to support your idea.

However, I would first search and make sure that there are no other active Feature Requests suggesting the same or similar improvements. If there is, then you could add your post and vote on it.
