Yes it is.... would be nice if they made it respond to the standard APM command meant to configure this kind of behavior instead of creating a proprietary command and dos utility to invoke it. It's also a shame the drive lies about its physical sector size and has no way to turn that off. Might be a nice project to reverse engineer this utility on windows to figure out the command it sends down and add it to hdparm.
