WD Red drives park their heads like WD Green drives?
So I checked the SMART stats on my new 4TB Red drive (WD40EFRX) today. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that in only 249 power-on hours it has already experienced 36820 load/unload cycles! Me...
I had to RMA one of my WD Red's and the exchange was a 68EUZN0. The LCC seem to be increasing pretty fast, at least compared to my previous versions 68AX9N0 where the LCC pretty much stay the same all the time as long as the NAS is running.
Anyway, I ran WDIDLE3 on it and to my surprise it was reported as disabled. I set up a timer and disabled it again just to make sure it "refreshes" if anything. Yet the LCC's still rise up quite a bit, but not as fast as some people were reporting of several hundred a day. But it does increase about 20-50 per day. My 68AX9N0 Red's stay the same during this time
Suggestions?
