Bug Description
Binary package hint: laptop-mode-tools
When on battery the default option for hdparm -B is "1"
Isn't this option too aggressive? It should be better to setup a "128"
Also the spindown time is quite low, only 60 seconds!!

You may be able to find that benchmark test on the net, that only the aggressive settings together with the laptop_mode actually saved considerable power if the laptop was used.
The other typical preference would be to trigger power saving measures only when the laptop is not in use, but of course this won't extend your battery time while using the laptop.
