Well, the parking has nothing to do with brand or model, not sure if I made that clear.
a while ago i looked at reports about those green drives, used with various linux distros, and i remember that some claimed that certain disks / brands were honoring those param.s, others not. but there were discrepancies between different reports, they weren't all saying the same re. those hdparms, and a dos utility to be used with some free dos implementation. in general i got the idea that it's something i would like to avoid. if you have better experience i'm glad for you, but it doesn't alleviate all my worries, or dislike for those green things. there have been quite a few complaints about them, perhaps newer batches have been fixed. that doesn't mean that older, sub-standard drives aren't still being sold to india... -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
