Everytime i disable APM from crystaldisk Info , after restating PC it reset the APM settings. so is their any way to disable it permanently???

because you need to disable it in windows first then the drive. for info on how to do it in win 7 and vista here http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-power-management-on-windows-vista/

http://apmtimer.sourceforge.net/ disables intellipark for APM and changes APM from 0x60 to 0x80.

You still need idle3-tools or wdidle3.exe if you do not want to use the intellipark feature.

idle3 and apm are different settings.

set Resident, Startup in Function menu, and Advanced Feature > Auto AAM/APM. crystaldisk needs to run at startup to disable APM and run again after hibernate/sleep to keep it disabled.

or you can try Quiet HDD https://sites.google.com/site/quiethdd/
