About external drives: I have a 500GB WD MyBook drive, and a great feature is that the disk spins down if idle for more than 10 minutes or so. Beware that some of these USB drives need too long to spin up, causing problems when using them in RAID configuration through md (metadevice). Unsure if this also happens with non-md setups, but it is worth to check when running into problems. I solved it by creating a cron job that writes to the RAID array every 5 minutes, but I hope timings in the kernel will be changes to less critical values some time soon. |
