Prepare Exfat Ntfs Drives 130 Hold To Keep Existing Cache -

Error 130 often occurs because a process is holding onto the cache. You must hold (pause) that process without deleting the cache.

The cache typically lives starting at sector 2048 (1MB offset). We will wipe only sectors 0-2047. prepare exfat ntfs drives 130 hold to keep existing cache

for dev in $(cat drives.txt); do
  dd if=/dev/zero of=$dev bs=512 count=2048 status=progress

This removes GPT/MBR headers but leaves the cache data intact from LBA 2048 onward. Error 130 often occurs because a process is

Spinning up 130 drives simultaneously can draw 130 * 25W = 3,250W peak. Use staggered spin-up in your RAID controller or backplane. Set hdparm -S 120 (5 minute spindown) to reduce heat. This removes GPT/MBR headers but leaves the cache
