I am running the above (Buster) on an old Intel notepad (remember those). It's a used as a library/backup NFS server for my RPI projects.
I happen to notice it was quite warm so put it up on end to try and cool it down. That's when I noticed the internal disk seem to be running continuously. I decided to look to see if I could see if the HD was designed to spin down when idle. That's when I discovered HDPARM but find it's beyond me.
I ran 'sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda' the results of which are listed below. Of note is "Standby timer values: spec'd by Standard, with device specific minimum". Does this mean spin down is already built-in?
Looking for any pointers/advice others may have also if I should be asking this question on the Debian Forum.
Thanks
