it's possible.

my ultra24 desktop has this enabled by default (because it's a known desktop type). see the power.conf man page; I think you may need to add an "autopm enable" if the system isn't recognized as a known desktop.

the disks spin down when the system is idle; there's a delay of a few seconds when they spin back up.
