Very High Load_Cycle still an issue?

Legacy Products My Book Live
1

Hi there,

as an early user of the MyBookLive-series in the early days there was the problem with rapidly increasing Load_Cycle_Counter.

I now purchased 2 brand new MyBookLive 2TB drives from Amazon.

Is on 2013 versions this still an issue?

Bye,

Heiko

That’s a loaded question.  :)

I know there’s a lot of religious debate about it, but is a higher-than-average LCC actually an issue?

My MBL is over three years old and has 469480 LCCs and it’s still going strong…

The first hour gone and load cycle still at 2.

Seems ok now?

I would like to add that I’ve seen WD drives at about 1.5ish million LLC’s and are only rated for a minimum of 300K. I don’t think high LLC’s are that big a cause for concern.
