Hi, I reported a few days ago this issue:

Hi... I reported the WD MyBook Essential 1TB WDBAAF0010HBK working...
Well... guess what... it doesnt work. The auto-spindown feature of this drive causes freezes during gameplay.

I managed to disassemble my WD MyBook Essential 1TB WDBAAF0010HBK. This is what I've found inside:
a WD10EADS Caviar Green

I disable the idle mode using this tool WDidle3. Prior to that, I had to attach the drive via a sata cable to my PC. I had also removed the other sleep timer via SmartWare (yes... this drive has two different sleep modes)

The result... the same freezes during gameplay. Conclusion... fuck this "green" technology.
I hope that this issue is due to incompatibility with UNEEK. I would like to know if someone has managed to make this drive to work with a common USB loader or Modchip... because I want to buy a WODE jukebox, and now I’m unsure if this drive will work.

Sorry for the delayed response and my crappy english

i had the same hd, but changed to the black labled hd/wd. (scorpion) works way better then this one. as far as spinning down or what ever it's doing, go to disk management, an write complete zero's, the reformat. there is still a portian of the disk that has a dack up of the (green features.).

thanks for your reply...
I have two partitions: the first one 225GB FAT32 (for sneek and homebrew) and the second one 700GB NTFS (for my isos).
So, you say that I have to write with zero's all the disk, or just only the FAT32 partition?

Thank you for providing all the necessary info Etheboss

@EVERYONE!: I'm redoing the first page soon and I would like to know would you prefer me link the hdds and their setups to a google search page or a specific site like Amazon.com, Newegg.com, so you can just click and purchase. Also I'm looking into chaning the title so it shows I'm supporting neek2o setups in my listings.

Well if you have a working setup that is displayed currently please post it here with all the necessary info; failure to do so will result in a PM from me LoL sorry I just don't like half done work. Thanks again everyone for your submissions.

Alright so maybe works 50% of the time? I try to add all the little info: like there is one sandisk SDHC card that will work with bootmii installed at boot2.

OK, if I use regular bootmii ios to boot it works 50% yep. I use some special neek2o channel for it which makes it to around 90% detected.

Is that channel legal to link? in case I can provide all this info for somebody with the same drive; cause nobody likes to search right LoL

 

[FIX94]

I have the channel from here.

 

[kylster]

So your using the one w/o the need for bootmii folder correct?

 

[kylster]

Sorry for double posting.

OK. Please look at the first post of this thread and tell me which you (everyone) would prefer. I added a new category which should be easy to find as it says (New)... and the old way I had it done says (Old)... Which is better for viewing for everyone?

Also I'm in the works of making a Wiki page but will still keep this thread maintained if anyone submits here I will also add it to the Wiki

I have linked to my Dropbox which will give you a excel file (made using office2010) for offline viewing I plan on keeping this up-to-date! or you can edit the file on my Skydrive account (no you don't need a live or hotmail account to edit it LoL) and I will do my best to keep everything in sync. This would not have been possible w/o everyone contributions.

I'm fully aware I'm not doing much but adding more and more info but I do get enjoyment on helping people and I do feel by adding such information I'm helping someone out there so enjoy everyone.

I have some information concerning a working setup to add:

About my USB Drive:

Spoiler

Model:
StorE PX1396E-3T01 (looks like this)

App used for formatting the drive:

Additional information:

Drive has 2 Partitions:

1: 50 GB, FAT32, Cluster size 32kb, primary, active
2: round about 950 GB, NTFS, primary

About the SD Card I'm using:

Spoiler

Brand:
Unknown / noname Brand or cheap copy of another brand (the sticker says nothing about the manufacturer and on the back is just a model number that I can barely read)

Here is a picture as requestet by kylster (sadly my camera doesn't take the best photos):



The red text on the black background at the bottom only reads "Secure Digital Memory Card"

Type:
SD 2GB, Class unknown (maybe Class 4 or 6, since it's one of those "Highspeed" Cards", therefore the "133x")


Model:
Unknown

Working Variants:
UNEEK+DI (with SD Card), NEEK2O (haven't testet in combination with SD Card since not needed)

App used for formatting SD Card:
Panasonic SD Formatter

Edit:

Structered the post so it is better to read, added picture of SD Card.

If anybody knows a way to identify the manufacturer of the SD Card (maybe by some type of ID found in the properties when you plug it into the PC) then please let me know.

It would be alot easier in the future if you would seperate the SD+USB info and place it all together but thank you; I had to look at it for a while and think to myself is this incomplete info LoL but it's just displayed differently

Oh yeah did you read my last post? I'm adding a Wiki page or you can edit the file on my Sky drive or download the offline file via my dropbox

Could you post a pic of your SD card? unknown information doesnt really provide much for users especially if it's unidentifyable.

sorry if the way I displayed the info was confusing. I will resturcture the Info and add a picture of the sd card to my post^^ Also I will submit the info to the dropbox or skydrive option you added in the first post as soon as I can

Edit: Picture of my SD Card added to my other post. If I find a way to somehow identify the manufacturer of the SD Card I will update the post with this info.

 

[kylster]

It's unnecessary to update the skydrive document due to the fact I'm making a wiki page here on gbatemp; the "dropbox" is in case you want a offline document of the compatibility list. I do plan on keeping the dropbox up-to-date though for everyone and also linking it to the wiki page If your wondering why I have the skydrive account linked it's just cause sometimes I'm at another PC or at school and it's easier to just check my skydrive account and add info vs logging into GBAtemp which some might frown upon. Also anyone can update via the skydrive anonymously so that's also another plus factor there.

The info you inputed for the USB is actually already submision so I put a verification +1 next to it so there is also no need to re-submit it either.

The pic is so I can cross-reference it or preform a reverse image search. Still thank you for your submission.

Hopefully the wiki page will be a great success I'm currently working on building a guide for making proper NEEK2O/SNEEK/UNEEK w/ or w/o the +Di using ModMii and Crediars SNEEKinstaller.exe if anyone is interested in assisting on this? I plan on finishing it up on my end befor posting it online maybe someone will want to see it befor it posted LoL who knows
