Where to download wdidle3.exe from WD?

[Cytomax]

Hello all i have come into possession of a few Green Drives from Western Digital and would like to change the the idle time to 5 minutes as recommended by some people.

 

I have searched high and low and cant find the download link for WD's wdidle3.exe.

 

Every time i try to go to this website to download the wdidle3.exe i get forwarded to a generic download page for WD.

I found this link for an open source solution but i would just prefer the official WD version

http://idle3-tools.sourceforge.net/

 

 

Any direct links to the official download for wdidle3.exe

 

Thanks in Advance

Well no luck with Western Digital but I found wdidle3 V1.05 on the Ultimate Boot CD

http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

 

It was added on July 30, 2011 for Version 5.1.0.

 

Hope this helps someone else in the future.
