Subject: Re: WD doesn`t use disks with Linux - was Re: Re:Western Digital GreenPower drives and Linux
Date: Fri, 16 May 2008 10:35:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <482D5547.4000208@draigBrady.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <003201c8b53c$67ff02d0$6400a8c0@bui.materna.com>

I wrote a few notes about load cycles here:
http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/hard_disk_reliability/

It's bad that the WD GreenPower doesn't support
`hdparm -B` setting its parameters, but I found I
didn't need to tweak these anyway.

I just got the distro to write less often to the drive
with the (rel)atime mount options. With that I got an
acceptable load cycle rate.

Pádraig.
