#5 WD30EZRX tapping knocking

[Anonymous]

I don't know if it's your utility bug or WD ones'.

Please see the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv0Qpd2gzIw

WD starts tapping only when OS detects it. Even FreeDOS. wdidle3 utility stops WD tapping on idle request, or idle set. But on next boot WD30EARX starts tapping again. And again if I boot FreeDOS and just run the wdidle3 utility without any keys WD30EARX stops tapping.

I would like you to implement that functionality in your utility (stop tapping =)). Maybe it should take some disassembler investigation to know what else wdidle3 does on each request. Anyway it seems that I should bring back to shop my brand new WD drives =(

Thanks a lot!

P.S. Yes, I power off and power on PC while tests.
