Wow this has caused quite the stirrup!

I think I'll leave them spinning :-) They are WD Raid Edition drives
so I'll keep my fingers crossed. I just figured since the array does
nothing like 21 hours of the day.. why not spin it down. But if
spinup/downs are worse then I'll leave it be.

The drive temps are 32-34 degrees since they have fans right on them
and the case is nicely cooled.

  

Even with that use profile, my main concern would be power usage, room 
heat, and cost of A/C if you run temperature controlled.

Thanks,
Greg
