Figure 61 Idle Command (E3h/97h)

When the power save mode is Standby mode, the Idle command causes the device to enter performance Idle mode
immediately, and set auto power down timeout parameter(standby timer). And then the timer starts counting down.
When the device's power save mode is already any idle mode, the device keeps that mode.
When the Idle mode is entered, the device is spun up to operating speed. If the device is already spinning, the spin
up sequence is not executed.
During Idle mode the device is spinning and ready to respond to host commands immediately.
