目前市面上的硬盘基本都支持AAM静音技术,有些硬盘出厂时就默认为AAM状态,而另一些则需手动激活。通过Maxtor、IBM提供的专用静音管理软件Amset、IBM Feature Tool,可轻松调整硬盘的噪音。
由于长城电脑上用的易拓是与ibm合作的,当然用的是ibm计术,就用ibm的软件。
以IBM Feature Tool,它除了能够开启IBM硬盘(现为日立硬盘)的AAM功能外,还能够调整硬盘的缓存、UDMA模式、S. M.A.R.T功能,甚至还可以查看硬盘的温度,可谓功能强大。该软件在安装时,会自动创建一个包括IBM Feature Tool在内的IBM启动软盘。用该软盘启动后,即可在其主界面的“Features”项的菜单中看见“Change Acoustic Level(调节声音标准)”选项。在此可将硬盘在两种工作模式下进行切换:一种是低噪音的安静模式(Quiet Seek Mode),一种是高性能的正常模式(Normal Seek Mode)。而且IBM Feature Tool是用数值来调节噪音的,显得更加精确。从Quiet(最小数值128~191)一直到Normal(192~最大数值254)可进行线性调节。其中的“TEST”选项还可随时测试硬盘工作在任何一个数值时的声音大小,非常方便实用。
Feature Tool (v2.01)
This is a DOS-bootable tool for changing various ATA features. The Feature Tool allows you to control some of the features of our Deskstar and Travelstar high performance ATA hard disk drives and supports 48-bit addressing, so it will work with the new large capacity drives.
This version adds support for our latest drives. Changes include:
* Enhancement of SATA support
* Enhancement of Capacity Clip Function
The Feature Tool allows you to:
* Enable or disable the read-ahead or write cache.
* Change the drive Automatic Acoustic Management settings to the:
o Lowest acoustic emanation setting (Quiet Seek Mode), or
o Maximum performance level (Normal Seek Mode).
* Change the predefined capacity of the drive. This option can be used in situations where there is a BIOS limitation and the drive is not recognized. See the PDF Users Guide for specific details.
* Switch the Ultra DMA mode
* Change Advanced Power Mode - allows you to change between the lowest power consumption and the highest power consumption (maximum performance level).
* Show Drive Temperature - shows the current drive temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
* Configure SATA interface - adjust maximum speed and enable/disable Spread Spectrum Clocking. |
