I append info of an 1.5 TB WD Caviar green drive with a lot of start/stop

which work fine!
The e-SATA drive is used with this machine:
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_b214fce2-b5b5-4a32-ba7e-cf9de6d55757
but has problems with other machines too.
I use Openesuse 11.1
Kernel 2.6.27.42-0.1-default
FANTEC Fanbox FB-35US2 (probably JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller)
storage-fixup-0.2-25.3 is installed, but not especially configured
If you need more info let me know.
How fast does it increase? ie. counts / hour.

The default on these drives is to unload heads
after a mere eight (8) seconds of inactivity.
Ugh.
The wdidle3-1.03 DOS tool can fix that. Google it.
I have disassembled that tool here, and found a few
vendor-unique commands inside it. But thus far have
not managed to get them working natively in Linux.
I really need a SATA tracer/analyser..
