[oclug] spinning down drives

[Michael P. Soulier]

    I'm wondering about the general opinions of the group on spinning
down harddrives. Does it save significant power to help your hydro bill?
Does it increase wear and tear on the drives, or the reverse? Any real
experience on this out there?

    Thanks,
    Mike
