Question HDD 2.5" internal construction and shock protection ?

[cloudff7ps1]

ejecting the 2.5" hdd + USB3.0 enclosure case in windows 10 is considered:

Active (operating) Tracking Rotating Full powerIdle, performance Tracking Rotating Self refresh—low power Idle, active Floating Rotating Self refresh—low power Idle, low power Parked Rotating Self refresh—low power Standby Parked Stopped Self refresh—low power Sleep Parked Stopped Self refresh—low power

And your question is.....?

And whatever the answer (from the manufacturer) might be, of what use is that 'answer'?

 

[cloudff7ps1]

yes is question
ejecting the 2.5" hdd + USB3.0 enclosure case in windows 10 with the usb cable connected to the pc ON is considered:

Look into the specific information from the drive manufacturers.
What do they say?

(and why does this really matter?)

importance if parking mode is activated after ejecting the 2.5" HDD + USB 3.0 case in Windows 10 while keeping the USB cable connected to the PC ON

When you asked the parts manufacturers, what did they say?


And in reality, the "importance" is your data, not the status of the drive parking.
So...you DO have a good backup, right?

 

[cloudff7ps1]

they answered different answers the same manufacturer in the chat does not have a hdd engineer

Well, I'm entirely unsure what answer you could get from us out here.


I am partway through a drive test that might blow your mind.
Watch this space...

Old HDDs from 2013 have outdated firmware and an older processor. Will this impact the parking speed after ejecting in Windows 10 the 2.5" HDD + USB3.0 enclosure case?
My models are: WD10JPVX-08JC3T5 and HGST HTS541010A99E662

What part of "any drive made this century" was unclear?

 

[cloudff7ps1]

the parking activation time in this situation with hdds this age my models

 

[USAFRet]

the parking activation time in this situation with hdds this age my models

Probably measured in milliseconds.

I asked twice in WD chat about these two 2013 models and they gave different answers, first: old units with old processor and old firmware to enter parking after ejecting from Windows was 10-20 seconds
Second chat: they said that these models enter parking after ejecting from Windows in milliseconds

Overall, what difference does it make, to you?

The only difference could make is time to wait before moving drive. It would be prudent to wait until it spins down.

Very old 2.5" HDDs (2013) older processor and older firmware take 10-20 seconds to enter parking after ejecting in Windows 10 case USB3.0 + hdd?

 

[cloudff7ps1]

Have 2.5" HDDs undergone any hardware firmware modification to reduce the time to enter parking after ejecting (safely removing hardware) in Windows? If so, when was this fix implemented?

Has the overall functionality and speed of 'parking' changed since that was first built in to drives in the 1990's?
Almost certainly yes.

Has a single particular make/model been updated, in its lifespan, to reduce the parking time?
Probably not.

My models are: WD10JPVX-08JC3T5 and HGST HTS541010A99E662 of 2013 not datasheet informations parked seconds after eject in windows

Yes, we know what drives you have.
And that is irrelevant.

They are what they are.
