Just an FYI, I had a look at my counters for a 1TB GP I've had in
always-on service (expansion drive for my tivo; which runs Linux) for
6 months. I'm not seeing any issues, Load_Cycle_Count is quite low.
Device Model: WDC WD10EACS-32ZJB0
Firmware Version: 01.01B01
9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 094 094 000 Old_age
Always - 4763
12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age
Always - 7
193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age
Always - 9
Given the Tivo is constantly doing IO it must've prevented the disk
from ever spinning down.
