WD Green sleep timeout
The WD Greens used to have a timeout of about 10 seconds, and they only
had a DOS utility to change it. What's the state of their Greens now? -- |

To clarify, the timeout was for parking the heads, not spindown. It appears as the Load Cycle Count (193 LCC) in SMART reports. The Green line was absorbed by the Blue line. WD now sells 5400rpm drives, in sizes from 2TB to 6TB, as Blue drives. I don't know what the LCC timeout is for these drives. https://www.wdc.com/products/internal-storage/wd-blue-pc-desktop-hard-drive.html |

I didn't realize for months that the sequential access on the new one is much faster. The random access is nothing special. It starts at 160 and is down to only 100 at the inside of the disk. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

Are they kind of noisy? More noise, vibration, and heat than the 5400rpm drives, but it varies quite a bit depending on the capacity. I have a Black 1TB that runs quieter than my Black 500GB drives. |
