So, you own one of these drives?
I have a Toshiba L200 HDWK105 SATA 3 500G CMR disk as a secondary
storage. I do not like that heads unload timeout is just a few seconds
and such state is hidden, so udisks2 wakes it up every 10 minutes to
poll for its SMART state. I see a lot of warnings in docs for HDD tools
and I am unsure how to stay on the safe margin during experiments.
I do not expect anything directly related to the original subject in

We need more information from the OP.
I am reminded of an electronics story. A rock musician goes into a
music shop and buys an amplifier for his electric guitar. He comes back
the next day and complains that the amplifier is defective. The
salesman tests the amplifier, and sure enough it does not work. The
salesman looks inside the back of the head, and notices that some
capacitors are missing. The salesman asks the customer to demonstrate
how he was using the amplifier. So, the customer turns on the power
switch, turns the volume knob up to 10, and plugs in a guitar...
