honestly I don't know what is worse - running the HDD permanently or parking the heads too often. I'm not a server (hardware) guy, but I remeber reading "consumer vs. server HDDs" nearly everytime HDDs are discussed. It might be possible that this is a) only marketing stuff b) the server HDDs are worse and just shouldn't get parked that often (most unlikely) c) the server HDDs have simply a longer 24/7 up lifespan due to let's say better heat dissipation or something like that. or propably a combination of these plus other aspects I didn't know. > Is it possible to do this with hdparm? Sure. Take a look at - https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hdparm "Set the standby (spin-down after idling) timeout." - "man 8 hdparm" Obviously you search for "-S #something" as parameter ;-) > It is a sane idea? ;) As said above..don't really know, sorry. > Best regards, > Meino Best regards, Nils
