How do you disable the fucking head parking in the BIOS or at startup automatically? This shit is killing hard drives, why the fuck is it even a thing
Install yosemite

Head parking is fine.
>>61342852
kill yourself

Hey brainlet, the HDD firmware controls head parking behavior.
>>61342736
why is this a bad thing??
>>61343422
Yeah I want to know.
>>61343628
God I wish our planet was like this.

Aggressive head parking wears out the drives, which decreases its lifespan to a couple of days depending on how aggressive it is.
Google it next time fucking brainlet
>>61343772
This is actually bullshit. No wear on the drive is caused by head parking.
The main problem is that if the head parking is too aggressive then it can harm performance, because the drive parks the heads and spins down to save power, then it has to wait for the platters to spin up before the heads can be floated back out onto the platter.
The second problem is that this is when head crashes are most likely to occur, if the platter isn't rotating fast enough when the heads leave the park they will collide with the platter.

wew lad, you are special.
2easy4u solution: install SSD.
I mean, fuck, a little 32GB SSD costs nothing. Put your OS on it and use your HDD as a mount-after-boot storage drive.

What is the point of your post exactly?
>>61344066
I didn't refute myself because there is still no wear on the drive by the parking.
The increased chance of head crashes depends entirely on the drive firmware. Not in how aggressively it parks, but when it brings the heads back onto the platters. If the firmware is fine it will be fine, if not then you're about as likely to have the drive die when you turn your computer on.

Install SSD, no worries about heads initializing and ruining disks or whatever you HDDtards are talking about
>>61344129
You did, you explained why head parking is aids and should not exist
>>61344150
So you think head parking is related to the OS being on the hard drive, shut the fuck up and go back to Linustechtips you worthless subhuman.
>>61344161
It clearly only affects HDDs. I never implied it had anything to do with where the OS was stored you lowiq nigger
>>61344207
Yes you did, >>61344150 and >>61344098
Since you're clearly autistic, I'll quote you
>HDD as a mount-after-boot storage drive
Google head parking or bother your master Linus to teach your wortlhess two digit IQ on what it means
>>61344224
Okay, look, you're sperging out. Just disconnect your pathetic HDD when shutting down and then reconnect it on boot to avoid the HDD problems
Or you could just move on to the superior SSD. 1995fag.

Get the fuck out you autistic little shit

>>61344343
What's with retards like you appearing on /g/ as of late?
if you're smart enough, then you can disable it
if you're not smart enough to disable it, its not your business to be trying
>>61343772
>decreases its lifespan to a couple of days
Literally what?
It's gotta be something else you're doing my man
Maybe try not dropping your drive several feet onto a wooden floor before plugging it in
>>61344500
The most underused tech tip of all. They should be teaching this in schools, like the one OP goes to.

To replace your spinning rust with a type of drive that has no moving parts.
