Hello everyone,

I have 2 wd5000bpkx, 7200rpm, 500gb, 16mb cache. After long time and checking the SMART I found out that they have APM! A scorpio black disk.. has APM.. talk about false advertisment maybe..? Anyway, I tried both hdat2 and wdidle3 tools in order to disable APM permanently, but it seems it's in the firmware or something. Does anyone have any idea?

Are you SURE about wd apm values cannot be changed? Please explain why. What about firmware edit/hack? I tried something in Victoria, the restart gave me ABRT error, if this is what you mean, if not please specify.
