    >>21263322 Is this software paid?
    Is it necessary to reconnect the 2.5" HDD enclosure case to the PC's USB 3.0 port? Or does it have an activity log without needing to reconnect the HDD?

    I don't know how to use this software for my purpose but I prepared a log of HDDs I connected in PC

    >>21263798 What does this message mean?
    Auto park is a function of 2.5" HDDs, not of the Windows operating system.

    My HDD models WD10JPVX-08JC3T5 and HGST HTS541010A99E662 are a bit old and I don't know if they have this system.

    This can be verified in USBDriveLog.

    How does the 193 <=> C1 SMART parameter grow in these drives?

    Are we dealing with "artificial intelligence" here?

    You can check the head parking settings for this WD10JPVX-08JC3T5 drive with the wdidle program, or you can use it to change the parking frequency from the default to e.g. 240s. This can be seen in attribute (C1) Load Cycle Count.

    If you eject the 2.5" HDD in Windows 10 and then hit the HDD case with your hand, will it damage it and generate bad blocks? Did the shock move the HDD on the table?

    Please familiarise yourself with what this SMART parameter means.
