Yeah, WD re-introduced the head-parking nonsense in the WD Red drives larger than the 3TB (1TB/platter).The motors on most hard drives are inside the platter hub, and many hard drives have. It must be done by a skilled technician in a high-grade clean room, because even a single speck of dust on the platters will destroy them.
