The Feature Tool allows you to:
  • Enable or disable the read-ahead or write cache.
  • Change the drive Automatic Acoustic Management settings to the:
    • Lowest acoustic emanation setting (Quiet Seek Mode), or
    • Maximum performance level (Normal Seek Mode).
  • Change the predefined capacity of the drive. ....
