- The value set has the following meanings: + Each policy combines power saving states and features: + - Partial: The Phy logic is powered but is in a reduced power + state.

- Note "Minimum power" is known to cause issues, including disk - corruption, with some disks and should not be used. + Excluding the value 0, higher values represent policies with higher + power savings.
