You can probe and change the drive's SMART config on Linux with the 'smartctl' command, on your Pi you can install this by installing the smartmontools package, e.g.
Code:
sudo apt install smartmontools

Thanks. Installed smartmontools and found my drive…

now how can I change it to go to sleep?

Looks like Smartmontools only probes… how to alter settings?
