WD_BLACK D10 8TB Game Drive - Disable Sleep!?

Hi there,

Is there any credible way of disabling the internal sleep timer on these drives?

I’m on Windows 10, and it drives me insane having to wait for the drive to spin up again when I want to access files in the middle of an edit!

I am aware of the wdidle3 tool from several years ago, but I’m not sure if this would still apply to a modern drive such as the the D10 Black External

Any ideas?

Use can try the WD Disk Utilities
