    What do you mean by “stops the clicking noise”? IME having head parking enabled increases clicking noises because there is a loud click every time the heads park/unpark (applies to Seagate and WD).

      At least with WD there’s a wear leveling seek every 5 seconds when the heads aren’t parked. That’s the clicking noise I mean.
