User Modifiable Parameters
Located within the Parameters window on the Device Information property page are certain parameters that are modifiable. To change a selected parameter, select the device you wish to modify in the Devices window. The corresponding available parameters will be displayed in the Parameters window, to the right.
Left double-click on the gray wrench icon associated with the modifiable parameter. The “Edit Value” dialog box will appear. Click on the scroll down arrow and select the option desired.
If 'Transfer Mode Limit' is modified, then system will need to be rebooted.
Modifiable Parameters:
...
Auto-Acoustic Management (1)
Maximum Performance

Manufacturer Default, [value]
Manufacturer's recommended settings for optimal noise level. Device manufacturer may not provide a default value
Minimum Acoustic Output
Minimum audible noise level
Disabled
Best drive performance without Auto-Acoustic Management enabled. This selection is faster than the selection 'Maximum Performance'
Advanced Power Management

(1) Decreasing the device's noise level is accomplished by decreasing seek rates, which may cause a slight performance degradation.

Are there any other utilities out there that can handle this? (I'm getting tired; sorry for not googling) |
