Again that misinformation :(.
The only issue is bad Linux code, e.g. gvfs makes them spin down and up
again and again, but if you remove gvfs, than they stay parked!
It's not an issue caused by WD, it's an EU Regulation and Linux coders
simply ignore it!
My file browser is Thunar, without gvfs just mounting doesn't work
anymore, but mounting by CLI still works ;).
