Maybe the USB enclousure disallows this information to be passed to the disk. You can attach the drive directly to a sata/ide host controller and issue the "hdparm" command from there. Then, put the disk back into the USB case. > Impossible ?? May I ask why you need to get this done? What problem are you experiencing with sleep mode?
