Power down unused hard drives
You can power down unused hard drives by issuing the following command on a Linux box for IDE Drives
Linux will automatically turn on the power of the hard drive and mount it.Though in some cases it will take a few seconds to power up.
hdparm -Y /dev/hdd
Now when you say want to mount your drive and you issue a command like
mount /mnt/hdd
Linux will automatically turn on the power of the hard drive and mount it.Though in some cases it will take a few seconds to power up.
