Description: Spin down idle [USB] hard disks
|
|
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.
