laute festplatte - drosseln mit hdparm?

[Rudi Effe <rudi.effe@gmx.de>]

hi, 

ich habe ide, 2 platten, hdb ist tierisch laut und hochfrequent 
(tinitus-gefahr!)

mit hdparm -x
wird es für einige sekunden erfreulich leise. 

mit hdparm -B1 soll man angeblich das standby aggressiver machen - aber 
das wirkt nur für die ersten paar sekunden.

acoustic-management habe ich auch schon ergebnislos versucht. hier ein 
paar hintergrunddaten:
