Hello all,
Following the OpenSeaChest Utilities install here.
Documentation for Configuration: here
There are some nice tuning features,
That can increase disks Life Span, Consume Less current, and Increase Life Span of the power provider Source, etc..
1). Power Up In Standby Mode.
When System goes up and Power is provided to all components, Power Consumption spikes,
from processor to disks, and all peripheral components..
So in this fase,
Disks also consumes more power, because they need to start the Controller Board,
and Also start spinning plates , and moving heads..
Some Seagate Disks, have this option,
So to configure Power Up in StandBy( Its a Persistent Feature, so only apply one time, no reboot required ), disk( sdX ):
Code: openSeaChest_Configure --device /dev/sdX --puisFeature enable
In this Way,
When system goes Up, disks will push a lot less current,
because only Disks internal controller is up( StandBy Mode, also known as APM mode 1 ).
Only when you require access( Read Write, the disk will Start spinning and heads will move, and working with the APM configuration they already had..
So this feature is only working for, starting system up/powering the disks,
after that, this feature does nothing( disks are already Up ).
2). Low Current SpinUP
After System Up,
Each time they go StandBy, it stop spinning the plates, and park its heads..
But the problem is,
Each time you request access, they will need to start spinning the plates, and moving heads to read/write..
This start process, is painful, for power Consumption, and creates more vibration( it pushs several Amps in spikes for that.. )..
So to minimise it,
Seagate Disks have a Feature, to start spinning in a progressive way, instead of abrupt way.
To activate this Feature( Its a Persistent Feature, so only apply one time, a reboot is required ), disk( sdX ):
Code: openSeaChest_Configure --device /dev/sdX --lowCurrentSpinup enable
3). Control Park, and Unpark Mode:
When disks are spinning, after operations, and they are not been used,
They will go to a less aggressive power State.
Usually Power Mode 127, permits, that they enter in Standby, which means stop spinning and park Heads..
In this situation, you should monitor Park/Unpark Head, if the Number grows very fast or Not..
Command Bellow will measure Power Cycles and park/Unpark Count:
Code: apt-get install -y smartmontools && for blockid in {a..d};do smartctl --attributes /dev/sd${blockid}|grep -E "^ 12|^193"; done
If this values for example in 10-15 minutes grows significantly, the disk life will be Reduced..
Some Known Characteristics:
Seagate IronWolf/ IronWolf PRO - '600000' Park/Unpark cycles
Seagate IronWolf - ~1,000,000 Hours MTBF( Mean Time Between Failures )
Seagate IronWolf PRO - ~1,200,000 Hours MTBF( Mean Time Between Failures )
3.1). If this value are already too big, or if increasing too fast( measure, for example, at beginning, and at the end of 1 week, .. for example.. ),
maybe consider, modes >=128
3.2). If this values don't grow too much, of if your disks have low values,
Then mode 127 seems the best,
Since you have a lower number of load/unload heads, disks "are like new" on that regard, and so, you can go standby more often..
4). Check if your disk( sdX ) Support Power Balanced Mode:
You can also configure a power Balanced mode, if your disk supports it..
Check if supported, disk ( sdX ):
Code: openSeaChest_PowerControl --device /dev/sdX --powerBalanceFeature info
5). To Check information on Features and so on, about the disks Capabilities,or Enabled ones,
You can type each time:
Code: openSeaChest_Basics --deviceInfo --device /dev/sdX
In this way you can check points 1)., 2)., 3)., 4). ...
This article could be improved in the Feature,
For now, here are the first Basic rules.
Hope you Enjoy,
Best Regards
NOTE:
1). The first 4 Points above, forms the base of Seagate Disks Configurations...
They prolong Disks Life Span,
They prolong Power Supply Life Span( in this, case power Supply of Rockpro64 )
They prolong Computer( in this case RockPro64 ) Life Span
They consume less energy.
2). Each Time you run a Command, if disk is in StandBy( sleeping ),
It could wake up the disk,if so, the number of Load/Unload Cycles will decrease by 1
**Use the tools**, to configure and check if your disks are well configured **only when needed**..

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!

Hello Neo2018,
Its nice to know that you Succeed, Congratz! 
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.
So they will be less aggressive pushing power( you will have less spikes in power needed to operate the disks, also less vibration of the plates.. ).
And off-course, RockPro64 power supply life will be extended..
I will assume, that your device is sdd.
Do that in the same machine, you configured OpenSeachest, and its working..
Code: ./openSeaChest_Configure --device /dev/sdd --puisFeature enable
./openSeaChest_Configure --device /dev/sdd --lowCurrentSpinup enable
reboot
A reboot because only after a reboot, this options are enabled..
My point 3),
You refer it a mix of your point 2./ 3.
The APM could be persistent between reboots or set on boot..
I set them on boot time, and do not turn them persistent..no need, because my system has a service for that..
Its difficult to advocate a state without knowing what a user do in reality..
The best way I find is to check your Load/Unload head park Cycles, like described:
Code: for blockid in {a..d};do smartctl --attributes /dev/sd${blockid}|grep -E "^ 12|^193"; done
This values for S.M.A.R.T APM, you can configure also in OMV panel( I think.. )
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..
Code: cat <<EOF > /lib/systemd/system/seagate.service
[Unit]
Description=Seagate - Set APM Level
## IF disk contain Operating System
#After=local-fs.target
#StartLimitIntervalSec=0
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
User=root
ExecStart=/root/openSeaChest/Make/gcc/openseachest_exes/openSeaChest_PowerControl --device /dev/sdd --setAPMLevel 127
StandardOutput=journal
[Install]
WantedBy=basic.target
EOF
Then:
Code: systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable seagate.service
reboot
Code: systemctl status seagate.service
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
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..

Hello Neo2018,
For What I see,
You need to configure the steps, for each Seagate Disk..
Your disks are named sda and sdd.
You need to do all steps for each of the Seagate disks you have..
You cannot configure one thing in one disk, and then expect it to be configured in the other disk..
The Configuration is Disk dependent( stays written inside each disk.. )
For a step, you need a package installed ' smartmontools'
Code: apt-get install -y smartmontools
I will update above..

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..

Hello Neo2018,
You need to breath , n o need to be with all that pressure..
For What I see from your post..
You have 2 disks there( but your Seagate is sda )!
sda1, sdb1,2,3 ... Are Partitions, **NOT disks**
You should configure **disks**, not partitions.. use ' /dev/sda' to configure steps..
Apart from that, the Only explanation I could find is related with your USB->Sata Adapter.. some commands are accepted some don't.. 
Try installing, in the machine you setup Ubuntu:
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.
If that Doesn't work:
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..

Yes, I only tried it with '/dev/sda'. Also with '/dev/sg0' , the same result is. ----> Low Current Spinup: Disabled
Disk sda is my new Seagate IronWolf 8TB / disk sdb are hard drives in the notebook.

About rockpro64 I had the problem that I could not set a spindown time. and I the setting 127, 128 is the hard disk already sleep mode after about 15 minutes. but I want at least 30/60 minutes. 15min is too little for my needs. I want to avoid the constant on / off of the hard disk. We had already discussed the topic. post in OMV Forum and PINE64 Forum. I thought, i can set via OpenSeaChest.?

Hello Neo2018,
Some disks don't have some features, others have..
Also there are a feature in the disks to turn information persistent or not.. I don't recall if I activated that first or not..
To know for sure you need to read the manual of OpenSeaChest..
For example My IronWolfs 4TB doesn't support FreeFall adjustments..
I wanted to tune the disks to detect they are Falling, and Park their heads for minimal damage when they Hit the floor..
But my versions doesn't support it.. Maybe the PRO versions do, or maybe another Release do, mine don't support adjustments..
But Low Current SpinUp, I think is standard in all IronWolfs..
To get the 'Master Branch',
Follow the steps in the Tutorial,( with Exception of step 2). ), the new step 2). for master branch is bellow ..
Resuming:
1).
Step 1). from Tutorial
2). Get master branch of OpenSeaChest
Code: mkdir master && cd master
git clone --recursive --branch master https://github.com/Seagate/openSeaChest.git
Step 3). from Tutorial
The rest is the same, try with that branch..
Regards,
