With USB 3.0 external enclosure 3.5 and Ubuntu.
I hope it works now.

Can you please advise me, which settings are most appropriate for my needs?
I mainly use for multimedia entertainment (stream DLNA, movie, music).
1. I want that the hard drive consumes so little power, because most of the time it will be in standby, and only when streaming needs power.
2. Which Spindown time is appropriate for my needs? (Do I need this?)
3. Which power management makes sense for my needs? (127, 128, 192?)
4. Which settings are important to activate?
Many Thanks!

My point 1)  and the point 2) above( Initial post ), are very crucial.
As they control, powering disk up in standby, and Startup Spinning Current control.

Or  with a script on bootup as a service for OneShot only( at startup in rockpro64 ):
See the note, bellow, about disk containing the operating system or not..its configured to *not* having the OS on it..

(06-13-2019, 12:10 PM)tuxd3v Wrote: Your point 4),
There are indeed several options to tune the disks, like the timers for the disk to enter in Standby, etc..
I start by the default values, and I still use the default timers, because I only use APM 127 and its nice for my workloads..

You can also Look at My Point 4) Above( First post ), to check if your disk support a Power Balanced Mode..

Your disks are named sda and sdd.
You need to do all steps for each of the Seagate disks you have..

(06-13-2019, 12:10 PM)tuxd3v Wrote:
Query the disk, you configured, to see S.M.A.R.T APM level set in 'seagate.service' above, is with the right value:

Code:

/root/openSeaChest/Make/gcc/openseachest_exes/openSeaChest_PowerControl --showAPMLevel --device /dev/sdd

It should now report APM 127  

(04-07-2019, 05:51 AM)tuxd3v Wrote: The fastest way is getting the disk out, and put it in your 3.5" adapter, in a Desktop or laptop,
Check if driver was builtin:

then install OpenSeaChest tools there:
And configure what you want, remove the disk and put it in the rockpro64 Again..

This is the easiest way of tunning your disk,
until you kernel compiles modules for SCSI Driver..

I'm desperate again
Please explain this to me please (for dumheads like me)

o need to be with all that pressure..

You have 2 disks there( but your Seagate is sda )!
sda1, sdb1,2,3 ... Are Partitions, **NOT disks**

Code:

apt-get install -y sg3-utils
reboot

The step 3), I think you can set it up with 'smartmontools'( in rockpro64.. ), so forget it for now..

Repeat steps 1),2),4),5) in the Ubuntu machine you setup, after installing 'sg3-utils', using '/dev/sda' has disk.

There have been some development in OpenSeachest to try to add more support for kernels without some functionalities( its in the 'master' branch now.. )

Has a last resource you could build OpenSeachest 'master' branch, and retest, but for now, forget this option..
