Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: X-Archives-Hash: 3411ba57555cb800ddf3ffa62932920d Hi, In my server I have a few disks which must be running 24/7, but I also have a single big hard-drive, which is used only for a few minutes every day, just for backups. How could I power disk off when not needed (and "on" again when needed) in order to save a little power and prolong its life?
