Hello

I'm new to Linux Lite. How would I go about optimizing My HDD to work balanced and long on it?
Meaning : scheduler / hdparm etc.

Would love to use TLP for it. So I could potentially tweak some other aspects of power management also like - Runtime Power Management / advanced power management / SATA aggressive link power management (ALPM) / PCI Express Active State Power Management (PCIe ASPM) etc.

Also would love to know the best balanced settings for those mentioned.

Any advice on what settings to use for this?:
(From what I understand this gives info to hdparm so essentially those are numbers to send to hdparm?)

# Hard disk advanced power management level: 1(max saving)..254(off)
# Levels 1..127 may spin down the disk.
# Separate values for multiple devices with spaces.
DISK_APM_LEVEL_ON_AC="254 254"
DISK_APM_LEVEL_ON_BAT="160 160"

Also how to set up the Lenovo Thinkpad T430's Free-fall sensor correctly?

Thank you in advance,
