I have Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB drive with Windows 10 and two HDD in RAID1. I started using Linux on different drive and I would like to power off my drives connected to windows. I am using sudo udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdX command and I am able to power off the HDD drives but I see in statistics that my SDD is still working (Just see amount of hours which it is working)

Moreover why even if I power off the HDD drives I still see them in sudo udisksctl status. Is it possible to see in status that they are powered off?

Third strange thing, during using sudo udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdX I got information there there is no usb device connected but still my HDD is powered off.

Thanks in advance!

  • Does this answer your question? [How to turn off hard drive in Ubuntu?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/671683/how-to-turn-off-hard-drive-in-ubuntu) – WinEunuuchs2Unix Mar 22 '21 at 18:27
  • Unfortunately no. Still I see that hours counter of SSD is increasing. It is strange. It seems that there is no command to really power off the SSD drive. – horytnik Mar 25 '21 at 20:45
  • When you look at the [SSD life %](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1038701/how-do-i-check-system-health/1038711#1038711) you see it lasts for 300 years so I wouldn't really worry about it. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Mar 26 '21 at 00:04
  • Ok, maybe I care to much ;) Thanks. – horytnik Mar 28 '21 at 09:43
