I tried everything I could to disable PUIS on the hard drive but was unsuccessful.
I downloaded HDPARM and turn_off_poweron_in_standby by HDPARM and every time
I try to set the PUIS to disabled it returns a failed error.
The article you linked to about no spinning up (flash bug), may also apply to me.
I am just glad I didn’t brick it!
If there are any more suggestions, I will be willing to try it.
