I'm looking at buying another drive. I'm trying to avoid buying one with the PWDIS pin. I'm looking at the specs to see if it says anything about the feature, there or not there. I'm not seeing anything. This is what I'm looking at. https://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/datasheets/pdfs/exos-x16-DS2011-1-1904US-en_US.pdf Can someone tell me how to know when a drive has PWDIS and when it doesn't? Is there some term for it that shows in the specs and I'm missing it? Or is there no way to really know? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
