Hard Disk Monitoring

It is not possible to predict whether the heads of the 2.5" HDD + enclosure case are parked after ejecting (safely removing) in Windows 10 because it depends on the HDD model and the USB3.0 enclosure case model, but all of them, regardless of the HDD model and case, enter the parked head state ...

I asked WD but they provide different information about the parking of the 2.5" models mentioned, before they said that the parking was triggered when ejecting and safely removing hardware in Windows 10 even if the usb3.0 cable remains connected PC on + case now today they They say that parking...

My USB 3.0 cases are Orico 25pw1 and Kesu 2530 but I couldn't get any hardware information from them, the chipset and functionality because Orico makes the processor and Kesu makes the processor chipset variations. I thought that the USB3.0 case only passed on Windows commands to the 2.5" HDD. ...

Is it true or false that all 2.5" HDDs have read heads that go into parked mode when the 2.5" HDD + USB 3.0 case does not perform writes and reads?

Have 2.5" HDDs undergone any hardware firmware modification to reduce the time to enter parking after ejecting (safely removing hardware) in Windows? If so, when was this fix implemented?

In HDDs 2.5" 2013 Ejecting in Windows 10 (Safely Remove Hardware) x not ejecting but remaining ON connected without reading and writing
Is there any difference in the time (seconds) for the 2.5" HDD + USB3.0 case to enter parking mode?

My 2.5" HDD is very silent, it's not possible to find out how many seconds to park. 10 hdd + usb3.0 case i not have stethoscope

If the 2.5" HDD is old, 2013, old processor, old firmware, will this affect the speed of seconds to activate parked after ejection in Windows compared to a new 2.5" HDD manufactured in 2024? I asked twice on WD chat and I'm confused because they said milliseconds then they said 10-20 secon...

Old HDDs from 2013 have outdated firmware and an older processor. Will this impact the parking speed after ejecting in Windows 10 the 2.5" HDD + USB3.0 enclosure case?
My models are: WD10JPVX-08JC3T5 and HGST HTS541010A99E662

These above two mentioned models manufactured in 2013 have autoparking when the 2.5" HDD + enclosure case is ejected from Windows? I believe that park technology has received updates since the 90s and I think that the first ones parked only when 100% power supply was cut Does USB3.0 enclosure c...

I contacted Western Digital and managed to speak to technical support but I was unable to contact an engineer. They said that my models WD10JPVX-08JC3T5 and HGST HTS541010A99E662 have Auto-Parking and NoTouch Ramp Load technologies, but they did not explain exactly how these systems work. On Crystal...

This technology was implemented in which year in 2.5" HDDs? If the ejection of the 2.5" HDD + USB3.0 case in Windows has no relation to parking the HDD, then after this ejection, the HDD is sensitive to any type of impact or shock or contact with it on the table? Needle and arm touch magne...

My 2.5" HDDs are a bit old, from 2013, models WD10JPVX-08JC3T5 and HGST HTS541010A99E662. I couldn't find their datasheets. i have other new hdd 2.5" seagate ST500LM030 Do these tree HDD models have auto park? In what situations do they enter the park area automatically? In Windows 10 I ej...

Some people say that ejecting the external HDD (2.5" HDD + Orico or Kesu case) through Windows 10 puts the HD in safe parking mode. Other people say that ejecting in Windows 10 only closes processes and stops file transfer and reading but does not put it in parking mode. I contacted Seagate's c...

I have an Orico enclosure case model 25pw1 and a Seagate ST500LM030 HDD, the case contains a sponge I think its material is EVA and the manual says to place this sponge in the lower part of the case but this sponge in direct contact with the lower part of the HDD and the exposed flat cable, will the...

For me the rear ports would be interesting if I use a USB 3.0 extension cable as it is uncomfortable on the back

For 2.5" HDD, if my enclosure case is USB 3.0, do I need to buy a dual USB cable or can a USB 3.0 cable provide good power to the HDD via the PC's front USB 3.0 port?

I don't know which one to choose, I have HDD ST500LM030 and I'm looking for a good brand, good case, basic and cheap, USB 3.0 without electrolytic capacitors

At the time of this event that occurred I was not copying files. This happened to me a few times in a row randomly. It would be as if I ejected the HDD. This generated badblocks and bad sectors. Will a new surface test be necessary? I tested the surface of the HDD and no problems were found. Only af...

A notebook HDD in a USB case when for some reason it disconnects and then reconnects, does it have a protection system to prevent damage and the generation of bad sectors (badblocks)? When it disconnects it makes a sound in Windows 10
