Anyway to the high Load_Cycle_Count; if I understood the technology correctly the WD GreenPower drives are exactly "Green" because they unload the heads on a plastic ramp (no landing zone!) quite often during longer idle periods. Thus they can power off the positioning logic and actuator of the heads. -> safe Power This also explains why the power usage under seek is comparable with other "non-green" drives... <snipped a lot of stuff> my 1 TB drive has also a relative high value: 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 2786 Just my 2 cents, Arnd || --
