Seagate ST2000NM00XX Drive Various Power Management Not Supported #155
Description
Hello, thanks for the work on this toolset. I have a system running 8 seagate SAS drives and cannot get spindown to work. I first worked with sdparm and would see it bouncing in and out of idle. I was hoping to use this to monitor the timer and see if it's getting passed idle_a. The drive manuals for the three models I have all say they support PowerChoice and have the 3 idle states as well as 2 standby states. When polling the drives, I get the following message returned.

Please let me know if I've missed anything. Thanks again.
