WD10EACS: Huge Load cycle count [ NOT SOLVED] in 4.2.9
Hi, could ze jedis give their opinion on the following situation: While checking my smart values after a forth drive expansion (4x1TB) I found that my three other drives that are 7 months old have...
My LCC counts were all approaching 300,000 so I decided it was time to take action.
I tried using the max timer value of 25.5 seconds with wdidle3, but I still found my LCC increasing. So I disabled this timer on all my drives. No further increases in this value since I did that a few days ago.
As mentioned earlier this is a non destructive change. It just required pulling each drive out one at a time, inserting it into a PC then booting from dos to run the utility. The entire process took a bit of time, but at least it didn't require backup/restore.
