The so-called gate C 1 is actually the high value of western digital hard disk C 1, which leads to the hard disk jam. This is caused by the intelligent power management (APM) of Western Digital hard disk. Simply put, when the system is not reading hard disk data, the hard disk head of Western Digital will be automatically recovered. When the data is to be read again, the hard disk head will be connected to the disk to read the data again, so the problem of hard disk creaking and playing games will occur. According to official data, the maximum C 1 of a general hard disk is only 30W-.

Test with HD Tune. If the value of C 1 exceeds 20000, it is necessary to pay attention to the possibility of adding the gate of C 1.

1, if the value of C 1 is simply high and no other side effects are found, don't worry;

2. If you are worried that there will be various problems when C 1 reaches a certain value in the future, you can use the software quietHDD or wdidle3 to modify the hard disk parameters so that the value of C 1 will not increase rapidly;

3, if you have some stuck phenomenon, then use quietHDD or wdidle3 to modify it, which should solve the problem that can't be solved, and basically has nothing to do with C 1.
