That's not what WD told me, but it seems your are quite correct. Poor phone support. Anandtech has a good review.

WD phone support, just like most phone support these days, are idiots. The only thing their good for is getting paid return labels when WD ships me back fault drives from RMA.
I like the no head parking, it does make the drive a little quicker when coming back from idle(another thing that RAID controllers freak out about). But even still, in a desktop computer you don't really have to worry about the drive banging around enough to cause a head crash, and the higher performance drives don't park the head that much either, so it is no big deal.
