Q: iPod Classic 7th Generation (Late 2009) - Hard drive start/stops loud
Hi all,
I have an iPod Classic 7th Generation (Late 2009) 160GB Black version. I often hear the hard drive powering up and spinning down which is loud and happens frequently (whenever changing songs).
The hard drive spins and a noise can be heard when it spins down - I have accessed the Diagnostic Mode and the SMART Data of the Hard Drive is below:
SMART DATA
Retracts: 0
Reallocs: 0
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 102
Start/Stops: 11575
Temp: Current 34c
Temp: Min 56c
Temp: Max 250c
Please can a forum user advise me on why the 'Start/Stops' are very high for only 102 hours of usage and maybe provide further information as to how I can reduce this or if this is normal operation for the iPod.
Any help appreciated, thank you!
