HWiNINFO - Caution - High Priority Unload Events

[baumgrenze]

When I run HWiNINFO on a recently purchased (<300 Power On Hours) 2TB WD Black drive it throws a "caution" (Yellow Triangle/Black !) and reports 2 High Priority Unload Events.


I've found it difficult to interpret the significance of this warning. I'd appreciate comments from more informed forum members.


thanks,

Hi baumgrenze,

Although you have an answer on HWiNFO Forum, here is additional info. The S.M.A.R.T Attribute 193 Load/Unload counter keeps increasing on a SATA 2 hard drive

Thank you, Snick

The WD information helps me understand that this is a power-saving feature of recent WD drives.

I propose we consider my inquiry "solved."

thanks
