[QUOTE="tony72, post: 1171040, member: 97107"] Interesting. I posted in another thread that I was looking for a way to spin up my drives when the MP UI was in active use; I was assuming there would be significant energy savings and reliability payoff to having them spun down when possible, but it seems that's not the case, so maybe I should run my drives 24/7 too. This makes me wonder though; I bought WD Green drives, whereas WD recommend their Red drives (NAS/RAID) for 24/7 operation. Is there really anything special about drives that are sold as being specifically for 24/7 operation? [/QUOTE]
