it's WD intellipark, an HD IDLE feature to save power, WD HD automatically parks the drive's head after 8 seconds of inactivity to reduce aerodynamic drag, enabling the drive to disengage read/write channel electronics to save power
there are Software to disable the "intellipark", just google it but im to afraid it will mess up my HD...so i just get used to it, wh have same HD.....
@BV93630360JUAN First that's a different model. Secondly, I've never had WDC not fail on me, so this is no surprise. Glad your data is fine, for now maybe.
No, that's Idle3(or "Intellipark") I think. Mine did a very similar thing, kept spinning up and down, and lagging 3-5 seconds waiting for the platter to spin back up when I needed to access it. Idle3 is a very ham-handed attempt at saving power by Western Digital, and it made my WD5000BEVT almost completely unbearable to use.
dead HD... backup!

Es HDD va a morir... busca la factura o la garantía donde la hallas comprado. Si vas a comprar un HDD nuevo que no sea Hitachi ni Samsung!!!
