honestly I don't know what is worse - running the HDD permanently or parking |
| 9 |
the heads too often. I'm not a server (hardware) guy, but I remeber reading |
| 10 |
"consumer vs. server HDDs" nearly everytime HDDs are discussed. It might be |
| 11 |
possible that this is |
| 12 |
a) only marketing stuff |
| 13 |
b) the server HDDs are worse and just shouldn't get parked that often (most |
| 14 |
unlikely) |
| 15 |
c) the server HDDs have simply a longer 24/7 up lifespan due to let's say |
| 16 |
better heat dissipation or something like that. |
| 17 |
or propably a combination of these plus other aspects I didn't know. |

Sure. Take a look at |
| 22 |
- https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hdparm "Set the standby (spin-down after |
| 23 |
idling) timeout." |
| 24 |
- "man 8 hdparm" |

Obviously you search for "-S #something" as parameter ;-) |
