MC stays for media cache and you should turn it off.
Media cahce option is located within flags of "Edit hdd id" window.

So, if you can reach it from Tests->Service information->Work with Sa->Edit hdd ID , then turn it off, press ok and save the parameters.
If not, you can open up Sys.Files tab from Tools->Utility extentions->HDD Resouces view and edit and read next sys. file that contains
information about these flags: vol. 0x03 sys file 0x0093 copy 0x00

To edit the flags find plugins menu on the right side of top toolbar, and open SNP plugin. It will show you same window you can see when opening "Edit hdd ID".
Turn off mediacache option, save the changes and make sure they were applied(by reading this sys.file again).
Then restart drive and check what will happen.

ok disabled everything close to media cache
