I don't think that did much to my drives.

$ hdparm -Z /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:
disabling Seagate auto powersaving mode
SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb[]:  70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0a 04 51 40 00 21 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

$ hdparm -Z /dev/sde
/dev/sde:
disabling Seagate auto powersaving mode
SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb[]:  70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0a 04 51 40 00 21 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Done.

$ smartctl -l scterc,70,70 /dev/sdd
SCT Error Recovery Control set to:
           Read:     70 (7.0 seconds)
          Write:     70 (7.0 seconds)
