If WD really believes that the drives can survive this many parking cycles why do you only list 600,000 in your specification? Since this will be 4-5 times the specified value it does appear something is wrong with the drive. Is there something wrong with this drive? At the current rate of head parking this drive will reach a count of somewhere in the 2-3 million cycles before the 3 year warranty period is reached. Questions to WD Technical Support and their replies belowġ. When installed in my Ultra 4 it climbed to 1200 LCC’s in the 1st 24 hours. Just as a reminder, my issue is a brand new WD30EFRX from Amazon that out of the box has the Idle3 timer set to 8 seconds. ![]() I asked them 3 questions and have posted their responses below. I have had a couple of email exchanges with WD Techical Support on this, the latest being today. It basically sounds to me like you are saying that WD Red drives are not suitable for use in any NAS application since the Idle3 timer is set by the factory at 8 seconds. I understand that is just a nominal rating and the drive will not fail the moment it is exceeded, but it is a measuring stick that indicates the drive is being arbitrarily exercised for no reason and the useful life if being deminished. Given the rate that the LCC is increasing the WD rating of 600,000 will be exceeded in a very short time. It seems to very from drive to drive and it is not clear why. I have seen several posts on the internet with other people have received this exact same drive from WD and when they examined the Idle3 setting it was turned off. Again, that is what WD states these drives are customized for. As you state below, some applications are “not optimized for low power storage devices”, like when used in a NAS array that needs to be available 24/7. The problems with the low Idle3 timer settings in the WD Green drives are well documented and I am very surprised that you are stating this setting is expected and should be accepted as normal for these RED drives that are intended for use in a NAS. However, these drives are heavily marketed by WD for use in NAS devices that will be operating 24/7. This would make sense to me if these drives were intended for a “typical desktop user” as you state below. 85Īdvanced Wireless Settings.88 Wireless Repeating Function. 84 Restore Configuration Settings.84 Erase. 82 View Logs of Web Access or Attempted Web Access. 78 Wireless Settings (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). 69Ĭhapter 7 Security Keyword Blocking of HTTP Traffic. 60Ĭhapter 6 ReadySHARE Printer ReadySHARE Printer. 57 Before You Back Up a Large Amount of Data. 54 Access the Router’s USB Drive Remotely Using FTP. 53 Connect to the USB Drive from a Remote Computer. 40Ĭhapter 5 USB Storage USB Drive Requirements. 28 Guest Network Wireless Security Options. 26 Change WPA Security Option and Passphrase. 18 NETGEAR genie App and Mobile genie App. 17 Add Wireless Devices or Computers to Your Network. 14 Wireless Devices and Security Settings. 14 Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP.
