Hello, Freebsd-hardware.
WD Cavair Green HDDs knows to have very short heads parking time out
(about 8 seconds), which leads to fast HDD resource exhaustion.
WD has utility (wdidle.exe) to set larger idle time. But it is
DOS-based. Maybe, here is way to send this vendor command under
FreeBSD
Hi everyone.
Is it possible to spin down HDD before it is powered off?
My problem/concern is that when I call "shutdown -p now", the HDD is powered
off at it's _full_ speed
and as a result I hear a noise, which really concerns me. I'm afraid that
this kind of shutdown will

The Samsung T166 500GB drive no
he same 5400 RPM and size parameters as the above
Samsung drives, and their prices are only 2 USD apart from the Samsung
counterparts:

and we can see that the 5K100 series, which is a rather old one BTW,
consumes also 5.0 W on start-up, but

Hm well with a Samsung drive you won't need an extra cable; at least not
with proper enclosure like i have. Works perfectly with one cable. Very
convenient to more 100GB a

My experiences are varied (and no specific experience with the Transcend
unit). I had an external SATA USB enclosure, worked fine with 6.2 on an

I am sure that it will be the future replacement for hard drive disks.

With no buffer and 1ms access delay
o do it, but
somehow I doubt it.

Add
hw.ata.wc=0
to /boot/loader.conf (assuming SATA or PATA drives) and reboot.
Add -U flag to newfs when making a new ffs.
Add a UPS to your power cord.
Mount filesystems read-only when possible. (e.g. /usr )
I was saying "hardware" thinking "technology".
I think hdd magnetic technology is obsolete.
see what happened with floppy disks replaced by optical disks and then take
a look at http://www.memtech.com/ for flash drives.

Hi guys,
I would like to know what you think of hard drive disk running under
FreeBSD.
The fact is that it is quite difficult to keep it working with "hard power
off". I added a small fsck_enable="YES" in my rc.conf file, but my system
keeps have some trouble when the power fails.
Is there a way
