the only TB size HDDs one gets in kolkata these days are those "green" ones, that park every few seconds, only to be awakened again a couple sec.s later. there's supposedly a DOS utility to adjust that, but google finds mixed reports re. this.
I too have only those disks, but they don't park. You can adjust that with 'hdparm', namely the Parameter -S. Also, look at your power-management settings in yast. Or adjust the pm-profile setting
SATA_ALPM="max_performance"
in the profile. I just copied the 'balanced' to a new name, changed that setting and then activated that profile (/etc/pm-profiler.conf resp. /etc/sysconfig/pm-profiler).
ah, that's interesting. which brand / model do you use?
Although, I'm running a server, per say, IMHO, I'd use Hitachi brand drives. The reasoning is that, because of money, I have to buy used drives and they have never failed me yet. I outgrow them first. My current set of drives, I've had for three years - again these are - used - drives and my desktop is running 24/7. -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing& Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler@att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home& Business user of Linux - 11 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
