was at /dev/sdc:
sg_start 0 --pc=3 /dev/sdcThe HDD wakes up automatically when writing/reading a file on it.
We spin down hard drives because HDDs put out substantial heat when spinning, but don’t spin up/down too frequently to avoid excessive wear.

Sometimes for large number > 10000, Matlab/Octave axes ticks will appear as exponentials. Fix this to the desired number of digits by:
set(gca,'YTickLabel',sprintf('%7d|',get(gca,'YTick')))This example is for 7 digits.
