Small correction. They've yanked settable SCT ERC in at least the Blue
and Black laptop (Scorpio) drives, which used to have this feature. So
it's not just the greens that had the feature removed. I'm pretty sure
all of the desktop drives, green, blue, black, have had it removed in
newer revisions. Now you can get it in reds, or RE drives only, at
least WDC. Otherwise you're looking for a different vendor.

This is true. The only real difference between the blacks and the 'enterprise' drives, is that the firmware isn't crippled. Seagate and (hopefully still) Hitachi drives allow setting SCT ERC. This is from my /etc/rc.local

	dev=sd$i
	smartctl -l scterc,70,70 /dev/$dev || echo 180 > /sys/block/$dev/device/timeout
done

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med xenotyp etymologi. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
