Dear community,
I want to minimize the power consumption of my FreeNAS box. The box runs 24x7 but is not in use 2/3 of the day. I set the HDD standby to 10 minutes which works quite well for me.
I never managed to configure the disks to go to sleep mode (lowest power mode). _Forcing_ them to sleep mode with ataidle -o /dev/adaX sometimes in the middle of the night when the disks are already in standby mode leads to an error

Disks do not sleep
