Acoustic Management
« on: April 17, 2004, 06:58:00 AM »
OK. i knowi can enable Acoustic Management with some tools floating around.
Personnally i find the Drive Feature Tool from IBM/Hitachi the best because it works on about every drive and even on a maxtor sata hdd which even Maxtor's own tool didn't do.

Anyway, i have an Satellite reciever which runs on linux and by adding a command in the startup script it enables Acoustic Management for the hdd.

It's something like:
CODE

# sleep after 10min
hdparm -S 120 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc

# accustic management
hdparm -M 128 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc


I have the same hdd's in my satellite tuner and in my xbox but the latter is definatly making a whole lot more noise.

Is there an option to use code like the above or do i need to remove the xbox hdd and use a tool to quit it down?
