When the maximum time that the HDD is waiting for commands has been exceeded:

Mode-0: Mode shifts from Active condition to Active Idle in 0.2-1.2, and to Low Power Idle in 15 minutes.

Mode-1: Mode shifts from Active condition to Active Idle in 0.1-0.2 seconds and to Low Power Idle in 10.0-27.5 seconds.

Mode-2: Mode shifts from Active condition to Active Idle in 0.1-0.2 seconds and to Low Power Idle in 10.0-27.5 seconds. After 10.0-40.0 seconds in Low Power Idle, the mode shifts to standby.

Remark:

The default values of these settings are reflected in the WORD 91 values of the IDENTIFY DEVICE command. Also, the APM mode is initialized to Mode-1 (default value) at power-off.

The above mentioned is time until shifting to each power mode based on point that the drive becomes a command waiting state.
