Re: [Tails-dev] idea: stop HDD by default?

We've started discussing this on the Please review merge bugfix/less-aggressive-hard-disk-APM-on-AC thread, back in March 2013 (and possibly the thread starts earlier). The discussion was a bit painful, so I never got around to finish the draft email that's been waiting half-completed in local storage. I'll take this heads up as an opportunity to get back to it, hopefully in the next few days. Thanks!

Hi all, I was thinking whether it makes sense to by default spin-down the harddisks, e.g. via hdparm -y /dev/sdX or hdparm -Y /dev/sdX That would have the advantage of reduced power consumption, less noise (up to complete silence when the fan is not spinning), and proof to the user that Tails is not accessing the HDD.
