What is better for hard discs - spinning down and waking every 1/4 hour or running continuously?
by JZL240I-U from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GBKZ)
Title says it all. I put two of my disks to sleep after 3 minutes running, but something is waking them every quarter hour or so. Is it healthier for them to keep them running in a use of two times 2 - 3 hours of use per day or spinning them down? What hurts them less?
