Hello
I just received a WD GREEN 1TB (WD10EARS) with 1.525.000 load cycle counts !!!! YIKES!!
I inmediately run wdidle3 and change from 8 to 180 seconds auto-parking
still... is this drive in danger?
other than that, the drive works fine, noise is normal, timming normal, everything looks the way EARS does
just wanted to know how much can i trust a disk with that number of load/unload cycles.
thank you!
indkt.

That high number on load cycle counts is the result of APM enabled on your drive. You can disable it completely so your hdd heads don't park anymore while it is working.
Anyway, the drive is not in danger, that is only an energy saving feature of the drive.
