[QUOTE="n1r0, post: 2523337, member: 99850"] OT: this is called Angular momentum. Fun to experiment with Last I checked, branded external hard disks can't be read by PC when connected to mobo directly - they had to be re-formatted first, leading to loss of data. Same when connecting an internal drive to the branded external enclosure: it wouldn't read without formatting first. Why they did this is beyond me What internal interface do WD drives have? Hibernation consumes zero power. As I stated before, repeated power ups wears out the drive more than constant running. So if you have a UPS, let the PC shutdown x minutes after power loss instead of going to hybrid sleep every so often If you don't have a UPS, get a UPS. Sudden power loss can kill more than just your data [/QUOTE]
