Summary : Spin down idle [USB] hard disks
URL : http://hd-idle.sourceforge.net
License : GPLv2
Description : hd-idle is a utility program for spinning-down external disks after a period
: of idle time. Since most external IDE disk enclosures don't support setting
: the IDE idle timer, a program like hd-idle is required to spin down idle disks
: automatically.
:
: A word of caution: hard disks don't like spinning up too often. Laptop disks
: are more robust in this respect than desktop disks but if you set your disks
: to spin down after a few seconds you may damage the disk over time due to the
: stress the spin-up causes on the spindle motor and bearings. It seems that
: manufacturers recommend a minimum idle time of 3-5 minutes, the default in
: hd-idle is 10 minutes.
:
: One more word of caution: hd-idle will spin down any disk accessible via the
: SCSI layer (USB, IEEE1394, ...) but it will not work with real SCSI disks
: because they don't spin up automatically. Thus it's not called scsi-idle and
: I don't recommend using it on a real SCSI system unless you have a kernel
: patch that automatically starts the SCSI disks after receiving a sense buffer
: indicating the disk has been stopped. Without such a patch, real SCSI disks
: won't start again and you can as well pull the plug.
