I have a USB hard drive I use for periodic backups and though I only use it occasionally it has been spinning constantly since I added it a couple of weeks ago. I've been trying to configure it to spin down after 120sec but I can't seem to actually my settings to work properly.

Is there something I am misconfiguring below?

Added the following to my PVE "/etc/hdparm.conf" file

After a reboot I am still getting 254
