This command is using the ledctl tool with the sudo command to turn off the locate LED for a specific set of devices. The ledctl tool is typically used to control the LED indicators on storage devices.

The command is using the locate_off parameter to specify the action of turning off the locate LED. The ${-dev-sda,-dev-sdb,---} is a placeholder that represents a list of devices. Each device is identified by its path, such as /dev/sda or /dev/sdb.

So, the specific devices identified in this command will have their locate LED turned off.
