  • Full description
    Idle3-tools provides a utility, that can disable, get and set the value of the infamous idle3 timer, found on recent Western Digital Hard Disk Drives. It can be used as an alternative to the official wdidle3.exe proprietary utility, without the need to reboot into a DOS environement. A full power up cycle of the drive will be still mandatory, for new settings to be taken into account.
