My toshiba 1tb external keeps going to sleep and I can't seem to locate anything that resembles a standby parameter. Does anyone know a way to get this drive to quit sleeping? Here is the output of sdparm -a /dev/sdc:    sudo sdparm -a /dev/sdc    /dev/sdc: TOSHIBA   External USB 3.0  0001Read write error recovery mode page:  AWRE        1  [cha: n, def:  1, sav:  0]  ARRE        0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  TB          0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  RC          0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  EER         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  PER         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  DTE         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  DCR         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  RRC         3  [cha: n, def:  3, sav:  0]  COR_S       0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  HOC         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  DSOC        0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  LBPERE      0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  WRC         3  [cha: n, def:  3, sav:  0]  RTL         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]Caching (SBC) mode page:  IC          0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  ABPF        0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  CAP         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  DISC        0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  SIZE        0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  WCE         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  MF          0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  RCD         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  DRRP        0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  WRP         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  DPTL        0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  MIPF        0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  MAPF        0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  MAPFC       0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  FSW         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  LBCSS       0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  DRA         1  [cha: n, def:  1, sav:  0]  NV_DIS      0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  NCS         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  CSS         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]Informational exceptions control mode page:  PERF        0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  EBF         0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  EWASC       0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  DEXCPT      0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  TEST        0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  EBACKERR    0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  LOGERR      0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  MRIE        6  [cha: n, def:  6, sav:  0]  INTT        0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]Background control (SBC) mode page:  S_L_FULL    0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  LOWIR       0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  EN_BMS      0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  EN_PS       0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]  BMS_I       0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]Logical block provisioning (SBC) mode page:  SITUA       0  [cha: n, def:  0, sav:  0]The following appears to be working, I'll update this question if the drive does indeed sleep again.sudo hdparm --prefer-ata12 -S 0 /dev/sdc/dev/sdc: setting standby to 0 (off)SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb[]:  f0 00 01 00 50 40 00 0a 00 00 00 00 00 1d 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
