Comment on Is this Seagate Exos drive too good to be true?

I have an Exos x16 and x18 drive and they both spin down fine in Debian using hdparm.

Care you share your hdparm config then?

  It’s really boring, Debian 12: /dev/disk/by-uuid/8f041da5-6f7a-4ff5-befa-2d3cc61a382c { spindown_time = 241 write_cache = off }

    Tried that and doesn’t seem to work. :(
    
    Relevant documentation for others about -S / spindown_time:
    
    Values from 1 to 240 specify multiples of 5 seconds, yielding timeouts from 5 seconds to 20 minutes. Values from 241 to 251 specify from 1 to 11 units of 30 minutes, yielding timeouts from 30 minutes to 5.5 hours. A value of 252 signifies a timeout of 21 minutes.
