+present in many Western Digital hard drives. This timer is part of the
+\"IntelliPark\" feature that stops the disk when not in use. Unfortunately,
+the default timer setting is not well suited to Linux or other *nix systems,
+and can dramatically shorten the lifespan of the drive if left unchecked.")
