# hdparm - get/set SATA/IDE device parameters
# -q Handle the next option quietly, suppressing normal output (but not error messages).
# -I Print device information.
# -C Check the current IDE power mode status:
# unknown (drive does not support this command)
# active/idle (normal operation)
# standby (low power mode, drive has spun down)
# sleeping (lowest power mode, drive is completely shut down)
# -S Set the standby (spindown) timeout for the drive.
# The timeout specifies how long to wait in idle (with no disk activity) before turning off the motor to save power.
# The value of 0 disables spindown,
# the values from 1 to 240 specify multiples of 5 seconds
# and values from 241 to 251 specify multiples of 30 minutes.
# -y Force an IDE drive to immediately enter the low power consumption standby mode, usually causing it to spin down.
# Get power status:
# sudo hdparm -C /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD40EFRX-68N32N0_WD-WCC7K0CPF0N1
# #=> drive state is: active/idle
#
# Spin down after 2 minutes (120s/5 = 24):
# sudo hdparm -S 24 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD40EFRX-68N32N0_WD-WCC7K0CPF0N1 # 4tb1
# sudo hdparm -S 24 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD30EFRX-68EUZN0_WD-WCC4N1173157 # 3tb1
# sudo hdparm -S 24 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD30EFRX-68EUZN0_WD-WMC4N0564095 # 3tb2
# #=> setting standby to 24 (2 minutes)
