On some kernels tuned for performance, you want to always favour spin-up time versus power draw. This adds the ability to always favour spin-up time by default (disabling Staggered Spin-up favours performance, rather than power draw). Regardless of whether this is enabled or disabled the libahci.ignore_sss option will override any kernel config.
