Description

Hard disks can be spun down after idle periods with an enhanced Go reimplementation of the hd-idle idea.

It is useful for systems that need quieter or lower-power storage behavior without manually managing drives. Test timeout settings with your workload, because frequent sleep and wake cycles can hurt responsiveness and may not suit every disk model.

How to run
