[Lorenzo Prince]

The famous speaker who no one had heard of said:
> I would like to know how to turn off the power of hard drive but *** not sleep
> mode *** after a period of time such as the things just like Windows power
> management?

As root:

$ hdparm -S60 /dev/hdX

will turn off hard drive X after 5 minutes.
