A software tool designed to eliminate the hard drive clunking noise in Mac Mini computers. It is available for free download and can significantly improve the overall performance and reliability of the device.
If you're using a Mac Mini with a Seagate notebook hard drive, you might have noticed some annoying "clunking" noises due to the drive's head being parked every couple of seconds. Fortunately, there's a solution called Declunk. This small and free program runs as a system process in the background and writes a few bytes onto the disk at a specified interval (default 5 seconds), which is enough to prevent OS X from parking the heads and causing the noise and short system freeze.
Declunk continuously writes a temporary file to the directory /tmp on the hard disk and then sleeps for 5 seconds before deleting the file and starting the process again. This prevents the hard disk from powering down or parking its heads, eliminating the annoyance of the "clunking" noise and the accompanying system freeze.
In summary, if you're experiencing the frustrating sound of your hard drive parking its heads every few seconds, Declunk offers a simple and effective solution that runs seamlessly in the background to keep your system running smoothly.
