Is it possible to prevent the external hard drive of my nextcloud box from spinning permanently? The box is installed next to my bed room and the swoosh is a little annoying.
I use Ubuntu Core on a Raspberry Pi 3 B.
hdparm can do that: http://www.htpcguides.com/spin-down-and-manage-hard-drive-power-on-raspberry-pi/
Do some tests if the disks also spin up properly.
