So I've excluded such dangerous commands in this guide. The hdparm documentation suggests that YOU SHOULD NOT USE SOME COMMANDS AT ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. It will very likely lead to massive data loss when some parameters are misused. Hdparm is written by Mark Lord, the lead developer and maintainer of the (E)IDE driver for Linux, and current contributor to the 'libata' subsystem.Įven though hdparm offers significant advantages to increase disk performance, it is also EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Using hdparm utility, we can tune the hard disk or DVD drive, test the HDD or SSD speed, reduce noise level by activating acoustic mode, turn energy-saving mode on or off, enable or disable sleep mode, enable/disable drive cache and even erase drives securely. It accepts any device as mass storage that is connected to IDE, SATA, SAS interfaces, so we can even retrieve information about CD/DVD drives as well.

Hdparm is a command line program to get or set hardware parameters for PATA, SATA, SAS and SSD devices.
