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...
Like I mentioned the timer was disabled by default when I ran WDIDLE3 to check. I am running an extended SMART test now again on all 3 drives.
I have 2 Red's version 68AX9N0 which I had for about a year now and this new replacement which is a 68EUZN0. Since the LCC was increasing on this one but not on my original 2 RED's (68AX9N0), I thought the timer was enabled. I was surprised when I found out it is disabled instead. However, yes as I mentioned the 68EUZN0 LCC's are increasing while the 68AX9N0 drives LCC stays the same.
My LCC right now is 150 on the 68EUZN0 (I had it for 3 days), while the LCC on my original 68AX9N0 which are about 1 year old is 350.
I am using these in a Synology DS413j
