Hdparm doesn't work on Seagate ST4000DM004-2CV104 -B 255 /dev/sdx results as failed, input-output error

Does 254 work? My Toshiba also doesn't support 255, only 254, so it will park and spin down after some time.

If this is the situation maybe it helps: I had to use HDD-Ping, to "ping" the drive in each 45 sec. Original: https://github.com/MrShoenel/HDD-Ping My fork: https://github.com/lmagyar/HDD-Ping (I made some bugfix, PRs merged though no new release of the original version, and my version uses random direct disk read).

254 doesn't work as well. It seems that this model has a blocked APM control. Thanks for the tip. I think it may help
