You can attach the drive directly to a sata/ide host controller and issue the hdparm command from there. Then, put the disk back into the USB case. Impossible ?? May I ask why you need to get this done? What problem are you experiencing with sleep mode? I'm just curious :-? In Windows, the sofware xspeed is the solution (eternally read/write in hdd).

The original poster doesn't mention the verson of Debian, Squeeze uses uuid's, and if you are using external usb devices, uuid's are a great way to make sure the same file system gets mounted appropriately each time. Yes hdparm works with uuid's. Here is an example from my ubuntu system. I suppose it's the same for a Debian system ;-) sudo blkid gives my a summary of the pluged hdd's: /dev/sda1: UUID=2C6CA0626CA02912 TYPE=ntfs /dev/sda2: UUID=D6EC99F0EC99CB5F LABEL=PageFile TYPE=ntfs /dev/sda3: UUID=7fd6681a-b5af-4972-8fb7-827bd9ab45a6 TYPE=ext3 /dev/sda5: UUID=3d77d85b-9d39-4f02-852b-1eb5669e6fda TYPE=ext3 /dev/sda6: UUID=6cdb6b0e-14c7-4014-8588-a16228152909 TYPE=swap /dev/sdb1: UUID=f331af38-d8b0-473d-92b1-9ada96e1dfb9 TYPE=ext3 Let's say /dev/sdb is my usb-hdd. Then the hdparm command would look like this: sudo hdparm -B 255 -S 243 /dev/disk/by-uuid/f331af38-d8b0-473d-92b1-9ada96e1dfb9 As the result you should get something like: /dev/disk/by-uuid/f331af38-d8b0-473d-92b1-9ada96e1dfb9: setting Advanced Power Management level to disabled HDIO_DRIVE_CMD failed: Invalid exchange setting standby to 243 (1 hours + 30 minutes) APM_level = off By the wayYou dont need the -S parameter.
