Hello everyone!
I have 2 hard drives. One is:

Segate Momentus 500GB
5000C50029CE83C6

HGST 500GB
Z5K500-500

I want to permanently turn off the spin down feature in either of these drives... whichever one is possible... Can you suggest any solutions please?

Thank you very much!

After a lot of research all over the internet I found out that it is simply not possible on most of the drives to permanently disable these features unless the firmware of the drive is hacked somehow... This is the stupidest thing I've recently came across... I really see absolutely no reason why the HD manufacturers remove that choice from the end users...
