I'm sure it will be added soon enough.... AFAICS, From a DE stance you can get pretty close to the same results by reducing timeouts - it's a useful feature to have in a single button press but I'm not overwhelmed by it's actual functionality, others may have had different experiences.michael chiklis wrote:My question is... how to implement this function on MRT?

I'd have preferred ACE to have been working on solutions for the locked PCBs.

This is because in SA there are many modules (more than 400) that get written

This command "is a feature of hard disks which allow a system administrator to configure the amount of time a drive's firmware is allowed to spend recovering from a read or write error".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_recovery_control
I believe that HDAT2 can issue ERC commands. The standard setting is typically 7 seconds for both read and write.
WD also at one time made available a free tool called WDTLER which enabled users to specify their own time limits. As I understand it, WDTLER's edits are nonvolatile, but any changes resulting from the execution of ATA ERC commands do not survive a power cycle. WDTLER would only run against specific WD models.
I would get a copy of WDTLER, obtain a supported WD model, and then compare the contents of module 02 before and after running WDTLER. One other thing you could do is to use a hex editor to search module 02 for a value corresponding to 7000 milliseconds, ie 0x1B58 (or 0x58 0x1B). In fact I have found such settings in the ROM in WD's Arch 7 models.
