    sdparm Alternatives

    sdparm is described as 'The sdparm utility accesses SCSI device parameters. When the SCSI device is a disk, sdparm's role is similar to its namesake: the Linux hdparm utility which is primarily designed for ATA disks that had device names starting with "hd"'. There are four alternatives to sdparm for Windows, Linux, Mac and BSD. The best alternative is smartmontools, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like sdparm are Hdparm for Windows (Free), hdparm (Free, Open Source) and quietHDD (Free).
