Hello, I have a litle HTPC/server with 2 SATA drives. The first one is
2.5 160GB with EXT3 and the OS. The second one is a 2TB drives with
XFS and stores livetv, recordings, videos, music and images (all
multimedia files).

Some years ago, I used hdparm to stop my IDE drives on a old server. I
want to do the same, stop the 2TB drive when it is not used.

Before start to search, I want to know your experience or suggestions.
Is there any other software like hdparm?

Thanks and regards.
